India must heed nature before history repeats
Nineteen per cent of the non-agricultural workforce is still employed in the unorganized sector. Similarly, 52% of the population is engaged in agriculture. These people are forced to work every day. Data suggests that during the last five years more than 3,000 people have died due to heat related issues. A trend is visible in Central India, Bundelkhand, Rajasthan and in drought affected parts of South India where people have temporarily or permanently migrated due to water stress.
