* As of 2nd Sep’22, Kharif sowing was ~99% of normal sowing, lower than the ~101% during the same time last year, but similar to ~99% average over CY19- 21 (refer Exhibit 4).

* Month-wise rainfall received over CY02-21 shows that on an average June received only 19% of the season’s rainfall, July received almost one-third, followed by August at 29%. In CY21, while June received 21% of the rainfall, July received 30%, followed by August at 22% (refer Exhibit 5).
