Drought impacts major Indian states
74% of the land in the Indian state of Maharashtra has been affected by drought resulting from weak rainfall, as the El Niño phenomenon disrupted precipitation patterns and is expected to cause a deficient monsoon season. The state heavily relies on rain-fed agriculture, cultivating cotton, soybeans, and sugarcane, which threatens both crop yields and the income of rural households. The government is currently assessing the extent of the damage and providing aid to farmers and affected families. The effects of the drought are also evident in the neighboring state of Karnataka in southern India, where ongoing challenges continue to impact agricultural productivity and water security in the region.
