These Zone of Rajasthan has High Saline water ( Khaara Paani) Hence the agricultural output was very poor. These zones have very poor monsoon, and the agricultural productivity was very poor. More than 65% of lands were Barren and could grown only thorny trees. The blessing of Narmada River has given the happiness to the Farmers of Rajasthan , the farms of Sanchore Teshil are having lush green crops of Bajri .This year the farmers are expecting a bumper crop and output of more than 45- 60 % higher than last year.
