Agriculture in India is highly dependent on the monsoons and can thus be called a gamble. With agriculture being an important part of the economy, many earn their livelihood by growing crops. The yield however, depends on getting the right amount of rain, at the right time. This is where the monsoons play havoc.
If the monsoons begin too early, or are delayed, they adversely affect the crops. Unfortunately, there are no substantial back-up mechanisms in place. Irrigation becomes challenging too, since the rain-fed rivers often dry up and are of no help to the farmers.
Similarly, the amount of rainfall is also not constant. Lower than expected precipitation causes crops to wilt while greater than necessary rainfall causes waterlogging issues. In any case, the farmer ends up suffering because the production is not as desired.
Though the farmer toils all year long, there is no guarantee that his hard work will bear fruit. He is at the mercy of the monsoons and that is what makes agriculture a gamble.
