The south west monsoon accounting for nearly 75% of the annual rainfall during the period from June to September is important for food grain production. Deviation from normal monsoon pattern affects crop production specially oilseeds, pulses and nutritious cereals which are grown in rainfed regions, fodder availability to livestock and causes huge losses to farmers. Adequate rainfall during south-west monsoon not only supports production of major commodities like nutritious cereals, oilseeds and pulses but also determines the success of rabi crops through carryover of sufficient moisture in the soil profile. Drought is the most common weather aberration and widespread in India. At country level, during last 15 years, 7 years recorded lower than normal rainfall, 6 years recorded more than normal rainfall and 2 years recorded average rainfall. The deficit was more than 10% in 4 years i.e. 2002, 2004, 2009 and 2014 with maximum deficit being 22% in 2002 followed by 21% during 2009. During 2004 and 2014 the deficit recorded was 12% in both years. This lead to widespread drought in many parts of the country. In 2002, the advancement of monsoon witnessed intermittent delays and the coverage over the entire country by the monsoon could happen only by 15th August. In 2009, despite early onset of monsoon and its coverage over the entire country by 15th July, the lowest mean annual rainfall was recorded during the year with a deficit of 21%. In 2012, the onset of monsoon was delayed up to 2 weeks with subsequent slow progress towards north-west with frequent breaks leading to deficit rainfall situation till end of July and late withdrawal of monsoon by three weeks in September. In 2014, the onset of monsoon was delayed and its progress across the country was erratic which impacted the sowing of food grain crops to an extent of 2.5 Mha. In all these four drought years, significant negative departure occurred during the south-west monsoon period affecting kharif agricultural production. During the year 2014, though the deficit was 12%, the estimated reduction in production compared to 2013-14 was about 16.5% in oilseeds, 9.7% in pulses, 6.6% in nutritious cereals and 5.3% in total food grains. Monsoon failures result in drought which has serious implications for small and marginal farmers and livelihoods of the rural poor. Rainfed areas constitute nearly 54% of the net cultivated area and account for 40% of the country’s food production and support 40% of human and 60% of the livestock population and are most vulnerable to monsoon failures. The frequency of deficient rainfall (75% of normal or less) is once in 5 years in West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Konkan, Bihar and Odisha; once in 4 years in south interior Karnataka, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha; once in 3 years in Gujarat, East Rajasthan & Western Uttar Pradesh; once in 2.5 years in Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir and Telangana; and once in 2 years in Western Rajasthan Not Available |
