Ganesh Nevde, a former sarpanch of Kamkheda village in Beed district, says he suffered losses of ₹6,000 for every acre of his 12-acre cotton fields as rains failed this year. He has no money to sow the crop next season. Officially, the monsoon in Maharashtra ended on September 30. However, in Beed, Mangal Waghmare, a farm labourer said it's like it skipped a season bar a brief spell in July. (Kunal Patil / HT Photo)
