00:00I am a farmer's brother.

00:05I am very happy that

00:08I have been invited by a district officer to attend this agricultural festival.

00:26I would like to share my experience of living in a district for the last 45 years with you.

00:37The objective is clear.

00:40The population of Palamu district

00:45and the need for food

00:54is so much that we can't even imagine

00:57how much food we get from outside.

00:59As you said, the population of Palamu district is around 1,94,000.

01:17Yes, 1,94,000.

01:20Yes, 1,94,000.

01:25Do you have barren land?

01:27Do you have barren land?

01:32The population of barren land is around 550 hectares.

01:45Agriculture is based on education.

01:56We know this.

01:59We also know that it is natural that

02:02in the last 2-3 years,

02:05Palamu district has received around 1,000 mills of rain.

02:08But whenever our farmers have to face drought,

02:13it rains between 6.30 and 7.30 pm.

02:20A district officer has said that

02:26it rains less in Haryana, Punjab and Maharashtra.

02:34But there is no improvement.

02:37Why is there no improvement?

02:40We are talking about the time when

02:43the rainfall was around 1200 millimetres.

02:49When it rains around 700 millimetres,

02:52we face drought.

02:55Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab

03:00receive good rainfall.

03:03What is happening now?

03:05I have been told by a scientist

03:11that this is a land side area.

03:14This is our district.

03:20We can also call it a sub-district.

03:23And from 1967 till now,

03:27the drought has increased.

03:29Is there any improvement in this area?
