*25 lakh migrate from Bundelkhand: Report*** * Friends,* An alarming situation of lack of water has been unfolding in Bundelkhand these past few months. Large lakes, small rivers, ponds, wells have all run dry and groundwater has fallen acutely in the last 3-4 years. It is believed that 25-35 lakh people have been forced to leave the region, animals have been abandoned. Women and the rural poor are facing the brunt of this fundamental crisis. A 6-member team from KSG has just returned from Mahoba, Chhattarpur, and Hamirpur, and has published a report, which examines the longer structural factors that have contributed to the crisis, and discusses what can be done.
