RAIN + FARMERS = INDIA ???



When I was in my teen I have seen many Tamil movies had the popular jokes of weather report. All India Radio's announcement about forecast of weather report that within 48 hours heavy rain, thunder with lightening will be expected in few places, but it always Sun's heat kills pedestrian like summer at rainy season also. This was routine happenings of weather forecast, so popular Tamil comedian, actor Nagesh acted in the so called weather forecast jokes. when the Jal cyclone was predicted same happened, and it always happens, as they predict forecast definitely no symptom can be expected.



Two weeks ago as they announced that the southeastern wind bring rain to all over Tamil Nadu, but instead of southeastern wind northwestern wind started at the same time and it brought rain clouds to Tamil Nadu, it gave rain for two days all over the State. As soon as the northwestern wind turned to Tamil Nadu, their prediction failed, and they predict about north western rain started they announced it would give plenty of water to Tamil Nadu. As they announced Tamil Nadu had rain for one or two days, and cyclonic hit was disappeared, that was the rain, it stopped.







As they announced no heavy rains continued for the rainy season, but in one of the television news channel telecast in one of the southern state farmer says if it's rain heavy their paddy plants will rotten and have to face heavy loss. As if the farmers does not know whether this season is rainy, or as if they doesn't know when they could fertilize or pesticide? If the season is dry they again start complain that they are in loss of dry climate. what is the limit that they expect from the nature, is not appropriate. Farmers must be educated more about agriculture and climatic conditions or they try to escape from bank loans they keep saying these contradict statements.





Government has reduced Bank Interest for Loan and also it gives priorities, still their cry does not come to an end, and it never come to an end. Agriculture makes us to survive but the political parties are the root of all these reasons. Political parties and their leaders entering their nose even in agriculture to make them to fight with the present State Government. Most of the farmers are illiterate as they were not aware of present situation of economy and developments, modern techniques. Most of the farmers turn to work and educate their children for other field. If the agriculture is not prosperous, nation's developments either affect or to import food grain from other countries. Or Government has to take over the agricultural land for cultivation; it would be the solutions for food crisis for future India.
