Haryana recorded a 44% rainfall deficit in June, while Gurugram reported a 37% shortfall, raising concerns over the progress of the kharif season. The weak monsoon has affected soil moisture and water availability, creating challenges for timely sowing and irrigation across several parts of the state.
The rainfall deficit could impact agricultural productivity and rural incomes if dry conditions persist. Lower farm output may also affect demand for agricultural inputs and influence the overall rural economy, making upcoming monsoon rainfall crucial for Haryana’s farming sector.
