పాఠం— Lesson
Krishi Panchang
= Indian farmer's calendar (panchang = 5 limbs); aligns farming with monsoon, naksatras, lunar months. Two main seasons: Kharif (Jun-Oct, monsoon-fed: rice, cotton, soybean, maize, jowar, bajra) and Rabi (Oct-Mar, winter: wheat, gram, mustard, barley). Third: Zaid (Mar-Jun, summer short-cycle: cucumbers, melons, fodder). Naksatra-based timing — 27 lunar mansions; Mrigashira nakshatra (June) signals monsoon arrival in AP-Telangana, sowing begins. Rohini = stable spring sowing. Hasta = harvest paddy. Telugu farming festivals: Bhogi (Jan 13) — burning old; Sankranti (Jan 14) — Tamil thanksgiving paddy harvest; Ratha Saptami (Feb) — sun starts northward = warming season; Akshaya Tritiya (April-May) — auspicious sowing; Vyasa Purnima/Guru Purnima (Jul) — monsoon peak. Modern integration — IMD weather forecast, soil moisture sensor, ISRO satellite Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana for crop insurance. MS Swaminathan — Father of Green Revolution India 1965-70; Norman Borlaug Nobel 1970 wheat. Telangana Mission Kakatiya (lake restoration), Andhra Polavaram dam for irrigation. Krishi panchang = agriculture + astronomy + tradition fusion.
