Farmers in Kalyana Karnataka face anxiety as the Rabi season begins, following crop losses in the Kharif season due to deficient rainfall. Depleted reservoir and groundwater levels, low soil moisture, and rising input costs have caused most farmers to pause sowing. Officials advise sowing only after assessing water availability. Raichur reports a 65% rainfall deficit, with only 15-20% of farmland sown out of a 2 lakh hectare target.
