Andhra declares drought in 21 districts, cabinet clears Rs 10,000cr SME fund

Andhra Pradesh declared drought in 21 districts on October 8, 2026, following a failed monsoon and shrinking reservoir levels. The state cabinet separately approved a ₹10,000 crore fund for small and medium enterprises. Farmers in the affected districts now face crop loss and water rationing, while the SME package is directed at business credit rather than agricultural relief.
