When it rains, the impact on agriculture is either positive or negative. Crops either thrive with much-needed water or suffer from overwatering due to heavy downpours. A unique phenomenon occurs in a specific area. Here, rainfall not only nourishes crops; It also produces diamonds worth hundreds of thousands of rupees. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the Coonoor district of Andhra Pradesh. While it is generally believed that rainfall helps crops grow or fail, in the Chonagiri region, the rains have transformed the lives of some farmers, bringing them incredible wealth.
In Jonagiri, farmers who drive their bullock carts to their fields for their daily farming activities are often surprised to find diamonds. This extraordinary event did not go unnoticed. The news spread like wildfire, prompting people from other districts and districts to travel to Jonagiri in Coonoor district, all hoping to try their luck and perhaps discover diamonds themselves. While this may sound like something out of a storybook, this event is very real. Whenever it rains in Coonoor, not only the local residents are attracted to the area; people from all corners of the state flock here in the hope of finding valuable diamonds.
The impact of rainfall has been particularly significant in the Jonagiri area of Pattikonda constituency. While heavy rains in the region cause streams and rivers to swell and overflow, disrupting travel and daily life, Jonagiri is where the blessings of the rains are most felt. In a recent example, a farmer from Jonagiri experienced incredible luck. After a rain, the farmer discovered a diamond worth 1.5 million rupees while working in the field. News of the discovery spread quickly and a businessman reportedly purchased the diamond for Rs 1,20,000 in cash, along with five tolas of gold jewellery.
