Abstract/Description: | Dupahad cluster in Nalgonda district, in AndhraPradesh, a predominant tribal inhabitation, suffered severe drought during 2009 kharif. Onset of monsoon was delayed by two months and the total amount of rainfall received was about 200 mm as against the normal of about 850 mm. This lead to widespread distress among tribal farmers who, by and large, practice subsistence farming. To meet this adverse season, two drought tolerant and short duration crops (sorghum and horse gram) were introduced as a contingency measure. These crops were cultivated with minimum nutrient application and addition of organic manure (FYM). Timely implementation of contingency crop plan resulted in net profits to the extent of Rs. 20000/- per ha in sorghum and up to Rs. 16000/ -per ha in horse gram. Besides the grain, crop residue obtained from these crops met the food and fodder requirements of tribal families while the villages in the neighbouring hamlets suffered due to drought. This paper outlines the methodology in executing contingency plan during drought and documents its impact on poor families in the nine tribal hamlets. |
