Why are these Beed women farmers staring at a dark Diwali this year? | Pulse Maharashtra

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from The Hindu · South Asia

This Diwali, the women farmers of Takarwan village in Beed say, their dreams have shattered. One of the worst droughts in Maharashtra has caused them immense losses. Now, their only hope is the Employment Guarantee Schemes, which have so far been an undelivered promise. While the state government has said it will inject over Rs 6000 crore for employment guarantee schemes this drought season, for these women it has meant an empty promise so far.
