This year  floods and drought took place throughout the country. I shall just mention the  drought situation in some parts of the country. We had occasion to see with our  own eyes the plight of the rural people in some districts of Orissa. Because of  drought, some families have been compelled to leave their villages in search of  food and drinking water elsewhere. They have been put to a very distressing  situation. The State Government, with its limited resources, is not in a  position to cope up with the serious situation. I would, therefore, urge upon  the Central Government to come forward to help the State Government. They should  at least increase the food supply to the State Government, increase provision  under EAS and provide loans to small farmers at no interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Requests The Central Government To Increase The Food Supply To The &#8230; on 8 December, 1998 Title: Requests the Central Government to increase the food supply to the State Governments to meet the floods and drought situation.
