Almost dried out creek. Eighty per cent of Bundelkhand's farmers are under debt. Every day, villages in this part of Uttar Pradesh are emptying out as the people migrate in search of work. There is no water or work anymore . Wells, hand pumps, pipeline supplies are almost dead. People have to travel more than 6 kilometers to fetch water. People bring water on bullocks, cycles and on foot. Agriculture has just stopped because of no water. Almost 200 animals are reported dead in Manikpur region out of drought . Government seems fail to solve the basic problems of "no water zone". (Photo by Aksha
