| IMD’S Forecast of Rainfall |
The country, so far till 7th August, 2012, has received about 83% (with -17% deficit) of its long term normal quantum of rains with large deficit (-21% to -59% or more) experienced over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Gangetic West Bengal, Bihar, West Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, West Rajasthan, East Rajasthan, Gujarat, Saurashtra & Kutch, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Tamilnadu, Puduchery, North Interior Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka and Kerala, the Government has taken the following steps:
i) Government of India had already approved assistance of Rs. 424crore to four most stressed states viz. Karnataka-Rs. 71crore; Haryana-Rs. 25crore; Maharashtra-RS. 200crore; Rajasthan-Rs. 158crore. Additionally, a sum of Rs. 38crore is approved for 3-states viz. Karnataka-12crore; Maharashtra-Rs. 15crore; Rajasthan-Rs. 11crore, to deal with the calamity from the National Rural Drinking Water Program (NRWDP) for augmenting habitation level safe drinking water supplies.
ii) Augmentation of ground water on availability is the only viable option that increases the cost of production for rice over high rainfall deficit regions of Punjab, Haryana and West U.P., where more than 95%of the area is irrigated from the reservoirs where the water levels are significantly low now, is likely to be met either from extra allocated power by the Central Government (1000MW allocated) for operating bore wells water lifting devices or through diesel subsidy extended already.
The above information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Planning, Science & Technology and Earth Sciences Dr. Ashwani Kumar in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
