More Farmers Quit in Madhya Pradesh, Migrate to Cities in Search of Livelihood | Read
Madhya Pradesh is facing its worst agricultural crisis in recent years with one-third of the state declared drought-hit by the revenue department. In Atanitya village, 20 kilometers from Chhatarpur, 60-year-old Hira Adivasi is among the 200 farmers who lost their crop due to the shortage of rainfall. While the government has promised relief to the farmers, Hira has not received any. He has to repay a bank loan from his own pocket even after his soybean crop sowed over 3 acres of land dried up completely.
