    • Several districts in Rayalaseema region are facing acute drought and failure of crops for the last three years. People are suffering severe setbacks in their living conditions and the situation of distress migration in search of employment is increasing. Agriculture operations in the project area is stalled due to failure of monsoon rains during the last year. There is no water to feed the animals which are important for agricultiure and to supplement income.
