The government is ready with a contingency plan despite an above normal monsoon so far, and Agriculture Ministry has been asked to take care of any situation if rains remain deficient going forward, Minister of Science & Technology Y S Chowdary said today.
"Monsoon definitely not only revived but it is very encouraging. In few pockets, there may have some issues but across the country it is going to be very good.
"Government is ready with contingency plan in some states.
We have already informed the Agriculture Ministry to take care (of that). And by and large is it very positive now," Chowdary said on the sidelines of an event organised by Yes Bank promoted Yes Institute that works towards attracting funds for social innovation.
