Prosperity in Tulunadu is the result of monsoon

        Being a student from other state I was very happy to be welcomed by the monsoon rain in Mangalore. My experience goes back to those days when I participated in the rain contest conducted at our residence in 2012. The rain fall used to go easily up to 12.8cm and so on. When I visited some part of Dakshina Kannada the experience in monsoon was memorable one because I used play in the water fall, take bath, click photos, etc. The fields were filled with plenty of water and the paddy cultivation used to cover the entire land. Gushing water in the river used to attract the travelers. This was and is the state of Tulunadu where we could hardly find plants drying and water scarcity leaving the people experience drought.

                                                     

      Though coconut and other trees including houses get damaged due to the landslides at times there is life in abundance everywhere. The issue of Nethravathi river diversion is nothing but people’s over confidence in assuming that there is enough water which can be diverted for other purposes. The dispute of Cauvery River between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka gives us wider understanding that the state has sufficient water even to supply to other states. Therefore monsoon plays a vital role in the prosperity of Tulunadu.  The city has high yielding cash crops which fetches the people of Tulunadu more fortunes. The business and other industries keep thriving because of the maximum utility of monsoon rain.

        The place is blessed with Western Ghats which is major source to support the growth of the people of Tulunadu. But everyone needs to become aware of the corporate presence which might grab the cultivation land from the ordinary peasants. For instance, the question of SEZ in Mangalore can be a bigger threat.
