🌾 RBI sounds the alarm: Climate change is disrupting India’s agriculture! 🌦️ A recent RBI study has confirmed what farmers have long feared—erratic weather is hitting crop yields and fuelling food inflation. While India reported strong kharif output and better rabi sowing, the bigger picture is alarming: climate change is an undeniable threat to our food security. Key findings from the Report: 🌱 Cereals & Pulses suffer when rainfall is deficient in June-July. 🌿 Oilseeds (like soybean) are highly vulnerable to excess rain during harvest. 🌾 Maize is more sensitive to rainfall variations than paddy, which benefits from irrigation. 📈 Food inflation has doubled—from 2.9% (2016-2020) to 6.3% in the 2020s—thanks to extreme weather disrupting supply chains. What Needs to Change? ✔️ Crop-specific & region-specific water management strategies ✔️ Investment in drought- & flood-resistant crop varieties ✔️ Smarter irrigation & rainwater harvesting ✔️ Stronger early warning systems & better crop insurance With unpredictable monsoons and rising global temperatures, India must adapt. The future of our food security depends on it. Read the full article- https://lnkd.in/gmMh5YUY #RBIFinds #ClimateChange #FoodSecurity #Agriculture #ClimateResilience #SustainableFarming

Santosh (name changed) a young school-going boy, was full of dreams until illness took over. What started as mild symptoms of cough soon worsened, leading to the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) at the local TB cell. His father, a farmer, struggled to meet Santosh’s nutritional needs. The village’s rough roads made travel difficult, and since frequent visits disrupted his father’s work, he couldn’t accompany Santosh. This forced Santosh’s brother to rent a house closer to the hospital, ensuring he could complete his medication course. However, prolonged illness left Santosh too weak to respond to treatment effectively. That’s when #RiseAgainstHungerIndia stepped in and provided fortified meals to support his recovery. With proper nutrition he regained his strength and responded better to the treatment. Now, Santosh is TB-free, back in school and looking forward to a brighter future. He extends his heartfelt gratitude to Rise Against Hunger India and the local TB cell for supporting him in his toughest time. Unlike Santosh, there are many still battling TB. This #WorldTBDay let’s join hands to spread awareness, support those in need, and help them overcome this disease because together we can #EndTB. #YESWECANENDTB #24March #WorldTuberculosisDay

Ranjita’s fight against Tuberculosis (TB): Journey of courage and hope!✨ Ranjita (name changed) and her 2-year-old daughter live alone in their village while her husband works as a migrant labourer. She single-handedly manages their farmland. However, when her health began to decline, everything changed, as she had no one else to care for her daughter. Ranjita reached out to one of the Community Animators from #RiseAgainstHungerIndia for help. Then, she was taken to the district hospital, where she was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), and her treatment began immediately. We ensured that she took her medicines on time, followed her treatment plan, and provided her with fortified meals to help her regain strength. Today, she stands strong, takes care of her daughter and farmland. Her journey shows how the right support at the right time could be a boon that turns fear into strength. She expresses her gratitude to Rise Against Hunger India for standing with her in the darkest phase of her life, ensuring that she becomes self-reliant and can provide her daughter with a better and healthier future. #ENDTB #WORLDTBDAY #YESWECANENDTB

How Tuberculosis (TB) tried to break him, but he fought back and Won!💪 Bikash (name changed) a daily wage worker from an economically weaker section, was struggling with TB and in a critical state, severely weak, struggling to stand and unable to eat. The impact of TB had left him physically and mentally exhausted. At that moment, #RiseAgainstHungerIndia stepped in and, through its NGO partner, Sofia Educational & Welfare Society, extended support to Bikash. He eventually received required care and attention at the shelter home run by the Welfare Society, where he was given fortified meals that were both nourishing and easy to digest. As Bikash has got the required nutrition and medication, his appetite returned, his strength grew, and with each passing day, hope took the place of despair. Today, Bikash has not only won the battle against TB but rejuvenated his life with strength and determination. He is back to work and filled with gratitude for the support he received during his darkest phase. He is thankful to Rise Against Hunger India and Sofia Educational & Welfare Society for enabling him to celebrate his life once again and dreaming for a healthier future. #ENDTB #WORLDTBDAY #YESWECANENDTB
