Tips for your answer

Show that a delayed monsoon affects the entire economy through agriculture, inflation, rural demand, water and energy—not just crop production.
Remember examples such as the 2026 delayed monsoon, PMKSY, PMFBY, and delayed kharif sowing for value addition.
Avoid limiting the answer to agriculture alone; connect the issue with inflation, growth, fiscal management and climate resilience for a holistic macroeconomic perspective.
