“…Various agronomic measures for drought proofing includes availability of quality seeds, optimizing plant population, spray of anti-transpirants, application of polymers e.g. Pusa hydrogel, practicing life saving irrigation, nutrient management, practicing conservation tillage, intercropping to reduce runoff losses, selection of efficient varieties, shifting sowing according to expected rainfall pattern, mulching and in-situ moisture conservation, use of zero till seed drill to accomplish late sowing of wheat (Gautam and Bana, 2014;Tyagi et al, 2020). Application of pusa hydrogel had improved growth and physiological parameters in rice; significantly higher yields in cotton; pusa hydrogel @ 2.5 kg/ha + organic mulch @ 5tonnes/ha in pigeonpea recorded highest yields and net return (Sen et al, 2019;Ashraf et al, 2020;Jadhav et al, 2020).…”

Drought is one of the important natural disasters which lead to maximum severity to human among all others. The vulnerability increases with the resource poor nature of developing and under developing nations. Considering the extent of rainfed area in India, the vulnerability to drought is higher compared to other peer nations. It has implications on agriculture, livestock, fisheries, rural employment, human nutrition and health. However, the impact initiates with crop production and encompasses livestock in medium term which has severe economic implications for farmer. Therefore, it is desirable to present an extensive study on the impact of drought on major crops and livestock in India. Further, we have also emphasized on the remedial measures to be followed for crop production and livestock.
