AGRICULTURE ADAPTABILITY AGRICULTURE ADAPTABILITY POLICYPOLICY
The government should regulate the
cultivation of paddy based on the water
resources availability in an area and conserve
the ground water. This might be the only way
in improving ground water levels, particularly in
drought prone areas.

Due to deforestation, the drought problem has
got aggravated and that has led to mass exodus of

People are shifting out of agriculture and taking up other
means of livelihood activities due to lack of water.
In this context food security has become another
important issue
