| Abstract/Description: | Increased variability in rainfall and occurrence of extreme weather events viz., nseasonal rainfall, hailstorms, heat and cold wave, drought and floods during last three decades have adversely impacted Indian agriculture when productivity from rainfed agriculture was required to be increased to meet the growing demand for food, fibre, fodder and agricultural commodities. This change has caused economic and political volatility in the country besides hardship to millions of small and marginal farmers especially in the Deccan region of India encompassing Vidharbha, Marathwada, Telengana, Rayalseema and Karnataka. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) launched a national program titled: National Initiative for Climate Resilient Agriculture in February 2011 in order to develop appropriate strategies for mitigation of hardships and for improving adaptive capacity among rainfed farmers in India. |
