In the wake of a comprehensive crop survey conducted across the state, the Karnataka government has declared that a total of 62 taluks in various districts qualify as drought-affected areas. The survey, which assessed crop conditions and water availability, has prompted authorities to initiate measures to support farmers facing the challenges posed by adverse weather conditions.
The survey results, which were made public by the Karnataka Agriculture Department, revealed that several taluks are grappling with deficient rainfall and crop losses, necessitating immediate government intervention.
The drought-affected taluks are spread across various districts, including Bagalkot, Raichur, Bijapur, Yadgir, and others. The impact of the drought has been particularly severe on the kharif crop, leading to concerns about food security and agricultural livelihoods in these regions.
In response to the survey findings, the Karnataka government has outlined a series of relief measures and initiatives to support farmers and mitigate the effects of the drought. These measures include providing financial assistance to affected farmers, distributing seeds and agricultural inputs, and implementing water conservation and management projects.
Government officials have emphasized the importance of timely and effective assistance to farmers to ensure that they can recover from crop losses and continue their agricultural activities. The Karnataka government is committed to safeguarding the interests of farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
The declaration of drought-affected taluks underscores the significance of accurate data and scientific assessments in addressing agricultural challenges and responding to the needs of the farming community. As Karnataka’s authorities work to implement relief measures, the hope is that these interventions will help farmers recover from the impact of the drought and regain their agricultural livelihoods.
