You are. A pundit on mordor left his 40000 square meter cotton farm in his village 6 months ago he now lives in this cramped rented room with his family. 2 years of drought have forced him to find work as a laborer in one of the many factories in the city of about. It is very difficult to live in the city i feel very safe but then again i do i have to live. Nearly 3 quarters of the state of maharashtra is suffering drought and crop failure. Farmers often take out loans to buy seeds and if they crops fail they cant pay back the money he says regular but it got. Done with it being heavy loans because for the last couple of years there have been there have been 4 or 5 suicides in. The plight of farmers has been a major problem in india and recent years more than 300000 farmers have killed themselves in the past 25 years a study found a 5th of those deaths were due to Climate Change and even a marginal increase in rainfall lead to fewer suicides that year. The government has encouraged farmers to insure their crops against failure through a nationwide scheme they say they have distributed more than 60000000. 00 to farmers in this district this year. On the condition of crop failure there is a Prime Ministers scheme and i will get the insured amount. But many of those who are supposed to gain protection say it doesnt work. Says insurers wont cover his silk farm and morris says he also cant get support. It hasnt reached poor people the middle men big door so it doesnt benefit the poor farmers. And bar mentalists a whats really needed is for farmers to stop relying on crops like cotton and sugar cane which takes lots of water to grow. If you look at b. Its continuously in drought because of Sugar Factories i think if this problem needs to be solved we should work on cropping patterns. But changing types of crops and where and when they are grown will take time so back in the city funded on more day weights and hopes the rains will come and he can go back to work in his fields elizabeth aljazeera. Now brazils president swept to power on a promise he would be tough on crime and try to demonstrate that in his home state of Rio De Janeiro policing there has a checkered reputation in the battle against drugs gangs with innocent people sometimes caught in the crossfire of story from rio.
