Life in Hills

"For us, farming is everything. We mostly work on the fields. Our main problem is water scarcity. We work on the limited land we have. Whatever land we have we use that. We do not have any other work so we depend on the land that we have. Snowfall in winters is good for farming. This year there was continued rainfall because of which we suffered heavy losses and the harvest was not good. Heavy snowfall in winters is good because that has a positive effect on summers. A farmer has to look at various aspects, having animals like goat and sheep is very important. We have to consider each and every thing."
