“About 10 years ago, with a lot of faith and hope, I bought four acres of land on lease for farming. We are a family of four and our only option is to work hard till the sun goes down. We face high water scarcity in our region. Like a mother desperately looking forward
to
conceive her child, we wait for six months and go through similar pain to see the crops growing to their full potential. But it’s always a
sceptical scenario where we may or may not achieve sustainable profits. Nobody is going to help us.
We
plough, we work and it’s only us who can help ourselves. My loan wasn’t waived off under the Rythu Runa Mafi Yojana scheme provided by the Andhra Pradesh State government. I have accepted the sad reality and opted pessimistic approach to life. From the past 10 years, being sad is something that I feel predominantly, and I don’t remember being happy consciously.”
