Abstract
We are aware that near about 53% population of India is engaged in agricultural activities (2011 Census Report). It is increased after Covid 19 but agriculture in India is still at mercy of monsoon. At this juncture, the condition of the farmers and agricultural labourers depend on the moderation of monsoon. In-fact Indian monsoon is gambling with the farmers.
