Abstract
The Indian economy is heavily dependent on Indian agriculture and the lifestyle of Indian farmer definitely depends on the monsoon rains. 70 percent of the Indian mass depends on farming system, either directly and indirectly. In addition, the agricultural sector in our country contributes to around 18 percent of the GDP. A significant segment of the nation's harvest zone is very reliant on Monsoon downpours, as they are not furnished with strategies for manual water system. Essentially, the Indian economy increases because of good Monsoon downpours in the nation. Then again, powerless Monsoon downpours bring about harvest disappointment, which influences the economy in a negative way because of lower creation. Later on, this converts into value rise, low modern yield, and different issues. More than everything else, the disappointment of Monsoon huge affects the life of the Indian rancher. Yield disappointment or insufficient precipitation is one main explanation behind mass rancher suicides the nation over.
