NATURE'S WRATH AND WEALTH: UNRAVELING THE IMPACTS OF IMBALANCED RAINSTORMS ON INDIA'S ECONOMY AND AGRICULTURE LECTURE NOTES I. • The tempest's appearance and value play a crucial role in determining how events will unfold as well as the Indian economy's growth potential for a given year. When precipitation falls between 96 and 104 percent of the long-term average, it is considered frequent. • Kerala, where the rainfall usually comes first and where rains are often far heavier than the general average, has also seen a shortage storm of 30% this season. II. Problematic Tempest's Effects on Different Points of View • Influence on Development: It is predicted that at the conclusion of the next year, agricultural development will have decreased by 5% as compared to the prior year. This will equally take 0.7 percentage points off of India's overall GDP growth. • The non-cultivating region's interest in the nation will be negatively impacted by this in a similar manner. III. Influence on Agriculture • Because India is an agricultural nation, 60% of the population depends on agribusiness for their livelihood, and it also contributes around 16% of GVA. So, the meaning of the word "rainstorm" cannot be discounted. In India, a full 40% of the affected districts are projected to experience flooding. • Rice cultivation has been significantly impacted in places like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Both a lack of storms and an uneven distribution of floods have proven to be problems; for instance, in West Bengal, rice cultivation was hampered by floods. • Coarse oats, pulses, and oilseeds all managed to survive despite the terrible rains and low storage levels in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. IV. V. Introduction Influence on Power Region: • Less power will be transmitted since different hydroelectric dams' water levels will be lower than usual. • Storms have a cooling impact on the areas in May and June, when a significant power outage is imminent, and when there is less precipitation, electricity demand will be higher than usual. Conclusion A multi-pronged strategy is needed to deal with the current situation's lack of precipitation. This would entail finding more recent drought-friendly and climate-supportive yield collections, reducing our reliance on precipitation by improving the water framework climate, opening employment opportunities to non-farm poor, improving the range of skills at the estate entrance, introducing radical change in the farm-to-fork supply chain, etc.
