The Ground Reality

Farmers lost both their cash crops and their food crops.

Farmers had already spent money on seeds and inputs — often by taking loans. With almost no rain, they lost almost 100% of the Kharif harvest.

Normally, families earn around Diwali by selling soybean. This year, there is nothing to sell and no income to fall back on.

With Diwali approaching, families have little or no money in hand. This is a serious food and livelihood crisis.

अर्चना यांचं कुटुंब
एक आई. पाच मुलं. आणि एक ऋतू ज्याने सगळं घेऊन गेलं.
Archana's Family. A mother. Five children. And a season that took everything.

अर्चना रवी भोसले पोखरी, बीड येथे राहतात. २०२६ मध्ये पाऊस आला नाही. पतीने बियाणं आणि खतांसाठी कर्ज घेतलं होतं — जसं मराठवाड्यातल्या हजारो शेतकऱ्यांनी घेतलं. पीक आलं नाही. उत्पन्न आलं नाही. Archana Ravi Bhosale lives in Pokhri, Beed. In 2026, the monsoon failed. Her husband had borrowed money for seeds and inputs — like thousands of farmers across Marathwada. There was no harvest. There was no income.

तो भार त्यांना पेलवला नाही. त्यांनी आत्महत्या केली. अर्चना आता चार मुली आणि एक मुलगा — एकटीने सांभाळत आहेत. He could not carry the weight of it. He died by suicide. Archana is now raising four daughters and one son — alone.

दुष्काळाने पीक घेतलं. पती घेतले. आता मुलांचं शिक्षण आणि भविष्य धोक्यात आहे. The drought took the crop. It took her husband. Now it threatens her children's education — and their future.

"माझ्या मुलींना या वर्षी शाळेत कसं पाठवायचं, मला माहीत नाही." "I don't know how I will send my daughters to school this year." — अर्चना रवी भोसले, पोखरी, बीड — Archana Ravi Bhosale, Pokhri, Beed

या कुटुंबाला आत्ता काय हवं आहे: What this family needs right now:
  • सहा जणांसाठी अन्न आणि किराणा Food and groceries for six people
  • चार मुली आणि एका मुलासाठी शाळेची फी, पुस्तकं आणि गणवेश School fees, books and uniforms for four daughters and one son
  • उरलेल्या जनावरांसाठी चारा आणि काळजी Fodder and care for remaining livestock
  • पतीने सोडलेलं कर्ज सांभाळण्यासाठी आधार Support to manage the debt left behind
