42% of India's land area under drought, 500 mn people severely affected
Current Affairs
About 42% of India’s land area is facing drought, with 6% exceptionally dry--four times the spatial extent of drought last year, according to data for the week ending March 26, 2019, from the Drought Early Warning System (DEWS), a real-time drought monitoring platform.
Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, parts of the North-East, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Telangana are the worst hit. These states are home to 500 million people, almost 40% of the country’s population.
While the central government has not declared drought anywhere so far, the state governments of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha and Rajasthan have declared many of their districts as drought-hit.
“Before monsoon, which is still far away, the next two or three months are going to be difficult in many of these regions,” Vimal Mishra, associate professor at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Gandhinagar, and the developer of DEWS, told IndiaSpend.
Failed monsoon rains are the primary reason for the current situation. The North-East monsoon, also known as ‘post-monsoon rainfall’ (October-December) that provides 10-20% of India’s rainfall, was deficient by 44% in 2018 from the long-term normal of 127.2 mm, as per data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
This compounded the rainfall deficit in the South-West (SW) monsoon (June-September) that provides 80% of India’s rainfall, which fell short by 9.4% in 2018--close to the 10% deficit range when the IMD declares a drought.
India has experienced widespread drought every year since 2015, Mishra said, with the exception of 2017...Read More

TYPES OF SOIL
Contents
Alluvial Soil
Most of India's rivers originate from the Himalayas, and they flow across the nation.
The rivers carry with them a huge amount of sediments rich in minerals, which are crucial for the growth of crops.
The soil is made up of particles like silt, sand and clay.
What are the crops grown in Alluvial soil?
The main crops grown in alluvial soil are:
Rice
Wheat
Sugarcane
Jute
Oilseeds
Pulses
Red Soil
Red soils develop in areas that have low rainfall, on granite and geneses rocks.
The dissemination of iron’s red oxides give it its characteristic red colour.
But these have the capacity to grow good crops after taking help of irrigation and fertilizers.
Where is Red soil found?
Red Soils are friable and medium fertile and found almost every part of
North-eastern and South-eastern Madhya Pradesh
Tamil Nadu
South-eastern Karnataka
Jharkhand
Major parts of Orissa
Hills and Plateaus of North-east India
What are the crops grown in Red soil?
The main crops grown in red soil are:
Wheat
Rice
Millets
Gram
Pulses
Oilseeds
Black Soil (Regular Soils)
Black soils regular is clayey, and becomes very sticky when wet.
Its particular merit lies in its water holding capacity.
These soils are very fertile and contain a high percentage of lime and a moderate amount of potash.
The type of soil has especially suited for the cultivation of cotton
Where is Black Soil found?
The natural or black soils have developed extensively upon the Lava Plateaus of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh mainly Malwa.
Black soils have also drawn upon gneisses of North Karnataka and north and west of Andhra Pradesh.
What are the crops grown in Black soil?
The main crops grown in black soil are:
Black cotton soil Sugarcane
Wheat
Groundnut
Mountain Soil
Mountain soil is formed mainly due to the deposition of organic matter provided by the forests.
This soil is rich in humus but deficient in potash, phosphorus, and lime.
It is heterogeneous in nature and varies from place to place.
The mountain soil is sandy with gravels and is porous.
Where is Mountain Soil found?
The mountain soil found on the hill slopes covered with forests.
In the Himalayan region, such soil mainly found in the valley basins, the depressions, and the lesser steep slopes.
The north-facing slopes support soil cover.
What are the crops grown in Mountain soil?
The main crops grown in Mountain soil are:
Wheat
Maize
Barley
Temperate Fruits
This soil is especially suitable for producing plantation crops, such as tea, coffee, spices and tropical fruits in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
Laterite Soil
Laterite soil is a kind of clayey rock or soil formed under high temperature and high rainfall.
The soil undergoes various changes, where laterite converts into red coloured lateritic soils charged with iron nodules.
Where is Laterite Soil found?
Laterite and lateritic soils are present in South Maharashtra. In the Western Ghats, • This soil is found in Kerala, and Karnataka.
In the Eastern Ghats, it can be found in some parts of Assam, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and in western West Bengal (particularly in Birbhum district).
These soils are infertile.
What are the crops grown in Laterite soil?
The main crops grown in Laterite soil are:
Tea
Coffee
Coconut
Areca Nut
Desert Soil
Sand found in the desert areas is a mix of sand found locally, and sand blown from the Indus Valley.
It includes the wind-blown loess. The desert soil has sand (90 to 95 percent) and clay (5 to 10 percent).
In some regions this soil has a high percentage of soluble salts, but lacks in organic matter.
The nitrogen content is low, but the phosphate content is as high as in average alluvial soil. Shortage of water in the arid regions is the primary limiting factor for agriculture.
Where is Desert Soil found?
The desert soil is found mostly in arid and semi-arid regions, receiving less than 50 cm of annual rainfall.
Mostly found in Rajasthan, and the adjoining areas of Haryana and Punjab.
The Rann of Kachchh in Gujarat is an extension of this area.
What are the crops grown in Desert soil?
The main crops grown in Desert soil are:
Wheat
Millets
Barley
Maize
Pulses
Cotton

Adequate funds released to States for Rural Development
The Government in the year 2017-18 provided highest ever allocation of Rs. 48,000 crores at BE stage for MGNREGA. In the year, the allocation to the Department also crossed more than One lakh crores for all programmes put together at Rs. 1,05,442 crores. The Ministry of Rural Development has been able to ensure payment of wages to the workers within 15 days in 85 percent of the cases as compared to only 37 percent in 2015-16 and 42 percent in 2016-17 on account of increased allocation for MGNREGA at BE Stage. The second phase of releases to the states, which starts in September of every year depends on States fulfilling conditions specified in General Financial Rules, which relate to complete financial scrutiny including submission of audited report for the previous financial year. This was reiterated by the Government to the States repeatedly in the past few months. The Ministry of Rural Development has already released the second installment for MGNREGA wage payment and material payment to the States which have submitted their audited statements on account for the year 2016-17. Over the last ten days funds have been released to Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim and Tamil Nadu. The release of funds to Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana are being processed as the papers have been received very recently. Funds for wage payments and other activities would be released to the States immediately upon receipt of audited statements of account, once they are found in order. In a good monsoon year, demand for MGNREGS wage employment slows down in the August to November period. The due care has been taken to ensure fund flows in States and Districts that have deficient rainfall. The Government is committed to maintaining a high level of timely payment and additional funding, if required, would be provided for MGNREGA at the time of supplementary budgets. It is also pertinent to point out that in the overall development strategy for rural areas, Central Government has also significantly increased it allocation under DAY-NRLM, PMGSY, PMAY(G) and all other initiatives. A record number of one crore new houses under PMAY(G) are to be completed by December 2018. By March 2018, 51 lakh such houses will be completed. Already nearly eight lakh houses are complete and work is going on in the remaining 43 lakh houses at an advanced stage. PMGSY now spends nearly Rs. 29,000 crore a year including State share. Through significant speeding up of implementation, nearly 85 percent of the eligible habitations (population of 500 in plain areas and 250 in hill areas) have already been connected by all weather road. This was at 57 percent three and a half years ago. The target of 100 percent connectivity by March 2019 is being rigorously followed and is likely to be nearly achieved. Under DAY-NRLM, thrust has been on livelihood diversification and current level of SHG bank linkage is over Rs. 47 thousand crore, which is more than double the amount where it stood two and half years ago. Other rural development initiatives are also generating employment in rural areas and it is for this reason that real wage rates in Rural India have registered a significant increase. Resources under Swachh Bharat Mission, 14 Finance Commission and many other initiatives for rural areas are also contributing to higher availability of wage employment in rural areas.
