Union Agriculture Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan takes cognisance of heavy rainfall, hailstorms in several states
For UPSC
Note the administrative response pattern: Minister takes cognisance → directs damage review → coordinates with state agriculture ministers → assures central support. Focus on disaster-relief protocol under Agriculture Ministry, not specific damage figures (none provided).
