RAIPUR: (Jul 4) The Chhattisgarh government has advised farmers to opt for short and medium-duration crop varieties and adopt water-saving cultivation practices in view of the possible impact of El Niño and delayed monsoon on the 2026 kharif season, officials said on Saturday.
The agriculture department has prepared a contingency plan under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, anticipating a delayed onset of the monsoon, an early withdrawal and prolonged dry spells during the cropping season, a government official said.
He said the plan aims to protect crops, sustain agricultural production and reduce cultivation costs even in the event of below-normal rainfall.
