WHETHER A CONTINGENCY PLAN IS NEEDED ?

Today I have prepared a contingency plan for vizianagaram district.
During past 2 months the rain fall is not sufficient.
11 mandals recorded deficit rain fall. 2 mandals scanty.
on set of South West Monsoon is delayed by more tha 20 days.
Sowings of dry land crops affected.
Cultivation in vizianagaram district depends upon more than 9500 Rain fed tanks which need to be filled atleast thrice during the season to cater the needs of Paddy crop. Paddy is cultivated in more than 1.24 lakh hectares in the district.if tanks are not charged in time, contingency arises and alternates crops have to be sown.
we have to indent and supply sufficient seed of Short duration paddy, Maize, Ragi,Pulses etc.
