Drought causes massive loss to women farmers in Beed's Takarvan

According to a report by The Hindu, women farmers of Takarvan village in Maharashtra's Beed district have suffered immense financial losses due to the extremely severe and terrible drought in the district. Due to one of the worst droughts in Maharashtra, the dreams of these women have been shattered, and their Diwali has also turned dark this year.

Currently, employment guarantee schemes are the only ray of hope for these women farmers, but these schemes have remained merely a promise so far, and the promise has not yet been fulfilled. The state government has announced an investment of more than ₹6000 crore in employment guarantee schemes during this drought period.

However, for these women of Takarvan village, this promise of the government has proven to be nothing but an empty promise so far. They have not yet received the assistance due to them through the schemes, due to which they are facing extreme financial difficulties. Because of this situation, these women are currently going through a very difficult time, and these schemes have completely failed to fulfill the promise for them so far. These women are currently facing an economic crisis.
