Major Rice States Rainfall status ne khatarnaak signal diya hai: Bihar, Andhra Pradesh aur Assam mein ab tak below-normal rainfall record hua hai. CareEdge Ratings ki report ke hisaab se ye teeno key rice-producing states (jinse India ke total Kharif rice production ka ≈15% aata hai) abhi tak average comparison mein low rain receive kar rahi hain
Major Rice States Rainfall — Bihar Ka Impact
Bihar ki baat karein to pichhle hafte mein 30 districts mein ≈56% rainfall deficiency dekhi gayi hai. Patna, Gopalganj, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur aur Darbhanga jaise major paddy belts abhi tak bohot kam barish dekh rahe hain. IMD data ke mutabik max temperature 36–38°C range mein hai, aur aane wale dinon mein light rain ka chance hai, saath hi thunderstorm waale alerts bhi aaye hain.
Bihar Farmers Ki Challenge
- Rain shortage se paddy sowing delay ho rahi hai
- Heat wave ka threat badh gaya hai
- Irrigation dependency high hai, par infrastructure limited
Major Rice States Rainfall — Andhra Pradesh Ka Shock
Andhra Pradesh bhi bohot affected hai. June mein yahan 35% se zyada rainfall ka deficit tha, khaaskar Guntur, Kadapa, Alluri Sitharama Raju, Guntur etc. districts mein. May mein jab excess (148%) rainfall tha, to sab thik lag raha tha, lekin June mein monsoon slow ho gaya.
AP Kharif Sowing Under Threat
- 60% agricultural land monsoon-dependent hai
- Sowing delays ki wajah se crop cycle push ho rahi hai
- Forecast mein light to moderate rains chalenge, par uncertainty barkarar hai
Major Rice States Rainfall — Assam Ki Situation
Assam mein wide rainfall deficiency chal rahi hai, khaaskar lower Assam ke 15 districts mein 60–99% large deficient rainfall hai, aur 5 districts mein 20–59% deficit . Ye delay paddy transplantation ko hamper kar raha hai, especially photosensitive rice varieties jaise Ranjit, Bahadur etc.
Assam Paddy Risk Zone
- Delayed transplantation ka risk yield ko reduce karega
- Less than 20% fields irrigated hain
- Drought-resistant varieties aur Direct Seeded Rice methods need pe focus
Major Rice States Rainfall — National Context
Puri country ka monsoon abhi 15% above normal hai, lekin 33.5% districts abhi bhi deficient mein hain. North‑West and central regions ne above‑normal rainfall dekha hai aur expand ho rahe kharif sowing mein 11.3% jump aya hai, mainly rice aur pulses ke wajah se.
Regional Rainfall Breakdown
- North‑West: +37%, Central: +42% above LPA
- South Peninsula: −1%, East & North‑East: −20%
- Yet, Bihar, AP, Assam mein bore monsoon chal raha hai
Major Rice States Rainfall — Farmers Aur Policy Response
- Focus on irrigation enhancement: Bihar aur Assam mein irrigation coverage ≥20% nahi hai; emergency irrigation pumps aur rainwater harvesting urgent ho gaya hai.
- Drought‑resistant seeds: Assam mein CR Dhan 801, CR Dhan 802 varieties promote ki ja rahi hain.
- Kharif sowing monitoring: Government pulses aur rice acreage target increase plans ke saath adaptive policy laa rahi hai.
- Early warning systems: IMD se thunderstorms aur heatwave alerts mil rahe hain for Bihar & AP.
- Support packages: Crop insurance aur farmer relief packages ki zaroorat hogi, especially agar sowing further delay hui.
Major Rice States Rainfall — Final Takeaway
- Major Rice States Rainfall low hone se Kharif crop risk high ho gaya hai.
- Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Assam ye teeno states rice production mein major share rakhte hain (~15%).
- Central & North‑West ne monsoon pickup kiya, baki regions mein disparity hai.
- Farmers ko now irrigation, resilient seeds, aur timely govt support pe focus karna hai.
Agar rain pattern balance nahi hua, to rice yield par long-term impact ho sakta hai—food security ke liye ye ek red flag hai. Policy‑makers ko immediate ground-level action lena hoga taaki sowing aur harvest dono protected rahein.
