Climate Change and Agrarian Distress in India

Abstract

This project aims to shed light on and bring some clarity to a subject that has only been pursued bleakly for research purposes till now. Climate change and Agrarian Distress are usually seen as a cause and effect scenario but the extent and span of the phenomenon has not been distinctly defined till now. Through this paper I shall explore the topic but limit my scope regionally to India to effectively arrive at a conclusion as to the magnitude of climate change and the resulting agrarian distress and how to design policies to tackle the same.
