## LOK  SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.1409

TO BE ANSWERED ON THE 3 RD  MAY, 2016

## NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DROUGHT ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING SYSTEM

## 1409.        SHRI Y.V. SUBBA REDDY:

Will the Minister of AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्री be pleased to state:

- (a) the  details  of  the  States  which  are covered  under  National  Agriculture  Drought Assessment and Monitoring System (NADAMS);
- (b) the manner in which agricultural drought monitoring is carried out under NADAMS;
- (c) the details of the benefits that farmers would get under the scheme; and
- (d) the number of farmers benefited by the system in the country during the last two years and the current year, State-wise including Andhra Pradesh?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

## कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्राऱय में राज्य मंत्री (SHRI MOHANBHAI KUNDARIYA)

- (a): The  14  States  covered  under  NADAMS  are  Andhra  Pradesh,  Bihar,  Chhattisgarh, Gujarat,  Haryana,  Jharkhand, Karnataka,  Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.  The drought assessment for 14 States is carried out at District level.  However, out of these 14 States in 5 States (Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana) drought assessment is carried out at Sub-District level.
- (b): The agriculture drought assessment and monitoring, under NADAMS project, is carried out  using  multiple  satellite  data,  rainfall,  soil  moisture  index,  potential  sowing  area,  irrigation percentage and ground observations.  A logical modeling approach is followed to classify the districts into Alert, Watch and Normal during June, July and August and Severe, Moderate and Mild  drought  conditions  during  September  and  October.   The  monthly  Drought  Assessment Reports are communicated to all concerned State and national level agencies and also kept on the MNCFC website (www.ncfc.gov.in).
- (c) & (d): NADAMS  project  provides  an  early  assessment  of  drought  situation  and  thus helps  the  State  Governments  to  take  remedial  measures  and  also  use  this  information  for drought declaration. This way, the assessments provided by NADAMS Project are beneficial for the farmers.   But since the benefits accrued to farmers are indirectly as a result of remedial measures taken by the State Governments, so there is no system of collecting actual number of farmers benefited.  Hence, no such information is being maintained.
