Drought, Monitoring, Mitigation Measures, Drought Indicators.
There were about 25 major famines across India in latter half of the 19th century. The Famines continued until independence in 1947 with the Bengal famines of 1943-44, which affected 3-4 Millions People. Drought is a climatic disorder characterized by deficit of moisture. The National Commission on Agriculture has defined and classified drought as meteorological drought, Hydrological drought and Agricultural drought. The drought monitoring cells are established at State level to control the drought situation. The drought mitigation measures as providing works under Employment Guarantee Scheme with timely payment, Rationing of food and water, Fodder camps for cattle and necessary medical facilities are arranged wherever required. Even long term drought mitigation measures are also taken like, PM Krishi Sinchin Yojana, Water saving technologies as Drip and Sprinkler, Rain water harvesting, long term irrigation management, Afforestation, Crop insurance, Inter Basin transfer of water etc. The situation has been improved in agriculture productivity after Independence.
