Velu was a dedicated farmer who followed a strict routine. He woke up early and worked hard on his land, growing crops like jowar and dhal. His land had always supported him, and he never thought of taking a break. However, the drought changed everything. With no rain, he couldn’t plough or sow, and his once- thriving land turned barren. He became worried about feeding his family. The change affected him emotionally, mentally, and financially.
