Is India staring at a monsoon crisis?

With the southwest monsoon just weeks away, concerns are mounting over the possibility of below-normal rainfall and its ripple effects on agriculture, economic growth, and business activity.

 

In the upcoming Business Standard Dialogue, we take a deep dive into the implications of a potentially weak monsoon — from crop output and rural demand to inflation and broader economic stability. The webinar will offer a timely preview of what lies ahead and how stakeholders can prepare for rainfall shortfalls.

 

The session will feature Ramesh Chand, Member (Agriculture), NITI Aayog, as the special guest. He will be joined by Business Standard’s agriculture expert Sanjeeb Mukherjee, and senior economic journalist A K Bhattacharya for a comprehensive discussion.
