Unseasonal Hailstorms and Rain Devastate Crops in Rajasthan and Punjab Days Before Harvest A series of unseasonal hailstorms and torrential rains have wreaked havoc on rabi crops across Rajasthan and Punjab, wiping out entire fields in regions like Bikaner’s Arjunsar and Moga districts. Farmers report 100% loss of wheat, mustard, and chickpea in areas where the damage has been most severe, with the timing of the disaster—days before harvest—exacerbating the crisis. The unseasonal weather has left many struggling to recover, as delayed crop insurance payments and the unpredictability of the climate continue to compound their distress. In Bikaner’s Arjunsar region, farmer Bhagirath Karwasra described the devastation as “a thick white blanket” covering his 7.5-hectare field, a stark contrast to the typical April landscape. The hailstorms, which struck between April 2 and 4, brought hailstones as large as lemons, destroying crops that were just days away from being harvested. Karwasra had planted wheat on 4 hectares, mustard on 3 hectares, and the remainder in barley, chickpea, and psyllium. The loss is staggering: wheat and mustard alone cost him Rs 9.6 lakh on 7 hectares, with yields expected to be zero this season. “One hundred per cent gone,” he said, emphasizing the scale of the destruction. The damage is not isolated to Karwasra’s field. Across 20 villages in Bikaner’s Arjunsar region, farmers are reporting similar losses. Unseasonal hailstorms and heavy rainfall have caused widespread destruction of rabi crops, with rainfall levels far exceeding normal thresholds. In the week beginning March 25, Bikaner recorded 480% excess rainfall, while districts like Dausa saw an astronomical 3,060% excess in a single week.#rajasthan #punjab #bikaner #moga #india_metereological_department

Rajasthan's Free Education Initiative: Lottery System for School Admissions Rajasthan has launched a free education initiative for children, with a lottery system to allocate seats in private schools under the Right to Education (RTE) scheme. The process involves a random selection of applicants to ensure equitable access to education. Application Process and Requirements Parents must submit applications online, providing proof of income and other necessary documents. A Pen Card (a government-issued identity document) is now mandatory, with applicants required to submit their Pen Card numbers. False documents may result in legal action, including FIRs (First Information Reports) filed by school authorities. Lottery System Details The lottery process will determine admissions for children in nursery, LKG (Lower Kindergarten), and UKG (Upper Kindergarten) classes. Selected applicants will be allocated seats in designated private schools. The exact timeline for the lottery draw and result announcements has not been specified, but updates are expected through official channels. Private School Concerns Private school administrators have raised concerns about the government's failure to reimburse fees for free seats. While the RTE scheme aims to provide education at no cost to families, schools argue that the state should cover operational expenses. For instance, in Bikaner, private school owners claim the government does not reimburse nursery, LKG, or UKG fees, placing a financial burden on institutions. Regional Participation In Bikaner district, thousands of parents have applied for free admissions, with schools preparing to accommodate selected students. The initiative aims to reduce educational disparities and ensure access to quality education for underprivileged children.#rajasthan #right_to_education_rte #bikaner #pen_card #private_schools
