NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Chapter 12: Waiting for the Rain
"Waiting for the Rain" closes Unit 4, at about twenty pages. It is a story by Kamakshi Balasubramanian, and the preface says it captures the vagaries of nature and their impact on farming, and highlights the wisdom of understanding the natural cycle of renewal and balance. Students read a longer narrative, follow how a farming family copes with uncertainty and discuss patience, hope and dependence on weather. It supports comprehension and empathy and links with the Science chapters on weather and the Social Science chapters on resources. Writing about waiting for something important is a good follow-up.
