At last the monsoon clouds arrived in our area in the last week of the month. But the rain was too less to begin the full-fledged cultivation of rice. Due to shortage of monsoon water, small scale farmers started buying water from the big farmers who have submersibles. Cultivation of rice with purchased water is too expensive for the marginal farmers but they have no choice, Cultivation of rice helps them to carry on their agricultural way of life. Rice  is not only the staple food of  the people but also provides them many rice products  like puffed  rice, pithe, khichuri and an important ingredient for making rice beer. Straws are needed as fodder for cows, for repairing thatch roof, making rope etc. Therefore, skipping rice cultivation will affect the life cycle of a family.   

Since most of our teachers and students participate in rice cultivation with their family members, the educational centres remain closed for a week for cultivation. But, this year due to insufficient monsoon water and pro-long holidays due to Covid most of the centres preferred not to give official monsoon holidays but if anybody needed to take a leave, they could.
