The Home and Agriculture Ministers reviewed the situation arising from below-normal rainfall in parts of the country linked to El Nino conditions, focusing on preparedness and agricultural response.

Exam takeaways: The review connected rainfall stress with administrative preparedness. Such reviews matter for crop planning, water management and relief coordination. El Nino-linked rainfall variation is a recurring governance issue for agriculture-dependent regions. The exam angle is the link between climate variability, agriculture and disaster management.

Why it matters: this item connects a dated current-affairs fact with a stable syllabus area, so revise the event together with the institution, scheme or policy mechanism behind it.
