District Rajgarh,MP :It is one of the smaller districts of Madhya Pradesh but a long list of incidents and cases which gives a clear picture of how farmers are being exploited by the Governemnt, bank, and others.There is no suport from any one .The state is predominantly agricultural and about 80% of the population depends on agriculture for its livelihood. Rice, wheat, soyabean, rapeseed and mustard are among the principal crops of the state. But it is in the matter of pulses, urad, mung, gram and arhar, that Madhya Pradesh leads the others with about one-fifth of the total production of these protein-rich food crops coming from the state. The black soil of the Malwa region is good for cultivation of cotton and some textile mills have also come up because of the availability of cotton.The state is predominantly agricultural and about 80% of the population depends on agriculture for its livelihood.

Ravi Mahehwari shares his story with the yatris.He owns 22 acres of land .Apart from other , gram is a major crop grown in the region.This year due to severe cold the farmers sufferred a loss as there was a huge damage to the crop.Ravi after suffering the loss went to Patwari/Tehsildar again and again with a plea of inspection so that he could get some compensation as the damage occured due to climatic changes .But no body listened and no ispection was done by the officials. Finally , Ravi lost the hope of getting any help from the Government .He prepares himself to ploughs the field.Now as soon as he starts ploughing the officials reach the field and made a statement that as he is working in the fields it shows that there no harm done by the calamity and so he is not entitled to any compensation as such.
The winter this time has affected the overall production of various crops in the region .There has been 50 % damage to coriander and 25% damage to Gram.Farmers in Guna and Rajgarh district are very disappointed with this sudden crop damage.
