Monsoon Update

During the monsoon season that included four months of rain, Belgaon Dhaga faced the wrath of severe floods. Our entire farmland in the community was under water for a devastatingly long spell, destroying all the standing crops raised on drip irrigation systems. Nevertheless, the community has not lost an ounce of their spirits. Fresh crops can be seen all over. The community participated in welcoming Ganesha, the elephant God of prosperity and auspicious beginnings, who is also the most revered deity of our state, with rather low key festivities this year in which people of all communities participate in praying for well being. During the monsoon season our economic activities (mostly farming) has slowed down some including computer classes due to erratic supply of electricity.
