The Krishna Raja Sagara Dam changed the face of much of Mandya district in Karnataka - and the areas it irrigated saw water-intensive crops like sugarcane and paddy being planted. But there are pockets of the district which never received irrigation - and farmers there still depend wholly on the rainfall and what borewells can provide. In one such dry area, in Srirangapatna taluk, we met Chikthayamma, working in the hot sun on a field, trying to grow vegetables in the middle of a drought.
