Frequency and intensity of drought is not in human control but affected people can reduce their vulnerability by adopting diverse coping mechanism and resilient governance.

However persistent vulnerability to this disaster brings in a numbers of questions in mind. How to measure vulnerability? What is the magnitude of it? How people are coping with it? How the Government s measures are effective? Where does the solution lie? This book is a humble attempt to answer these important questions.
