About the Book
Tapeshwar Singh’s book addresses the critical issue of drought and its far-reaching effects on millions of people residing in drought-prone areas of India. With discussions on drought and its mitigation becoming more frequent in recent years, the book highlights the harsh realities faced by those living in these vulnerable regions, which make up one-fifth of the country’s land and house one-eighth of the population. In these areas, around 70 lakh households—comprising mostly small and marginal farmers and agricultural laborers—form the poorest segment of India’s population. These individuals are engaged in a constant battle to meet even their basic subsistence needs. Singh explores the socio-economic challenges posed by drought, focusing on the struggles faced by these communities and the inadequate resources available to help them overcome these hardships. The book calls for a more nuanced approach to addressing drought and improving the conditions of those most affected by it.
