Rainfall - An important factor governing Indian economy

Abstract

India, a primarily agrarian country, is dependent on rain for 62 % of its net sown

agricultural area. The southwest monsoon (June-September) provides about 80 % of

the Indias precipitation. As can be expected, a good monsoon season with sufficient

rainfall results in good agricultural production, whereas a bad monsoon season with

low precipitation negatively impacts the economy through lower production. Thus

Indian agriculture is governed by monsoon. Bumper production provides growth and

development to the rural areas, generating self employment facilities, raw material to

agro-based industries, better living standard and food security. Text enables to enrich

knowledge about Indian climate and agriculture. The students can understand the

role of monsoon in governing Indian agriculture, its economy, direct and indirect

impact on each and every occupation and suggested ways to reduce dependence of

agriculture on monsoon.

The climate of India comprises a wide range of weather conditions across a vast geographic

scale and varied topography, making generalizations difficult. India has monsoon type of

climate. Notwithstanding its broad climatic unity, the climate of India has many regional

variations, expressed in the pattern of winds, temperature and rainfall, rhythm of cycle of

seasons and the degree of wetness or dryness. These climatic differences are due to location,

altitude, distance from the sea, faces of the land and upper air circulation.

Characteristics of Monsoonal Rainfall includes

Seasonal in character-June to September Mainly orographic in its mode of occurrence Rainfall decreases with increasing distance from the sea Burst of monsoon and dry and wet spells Pulsating in nature

Did you know?

The Bombay HC order has ordered to shift IPL matches out of Maharashtra owing to water

crisis , then IPL chairman said they are ready to do whatever is in their hand to resolve the

water crisis but shifting of matches is surely not a solution.

Impact of Monsoon Climate of India on Agriculture An overview

India is a Monsoon land. Besides it is basically an agricultural country. Monsoon climate

influences agricultural crops in a big way as under:

India is primarily an agricultural country. About 74% of the total population directly or indirectly earns livelihood from agriculture. Growth and development of Indian agriculture is mainly dependent on Monsoon climate.



8

Climatic diversities have led to differential cropping patterns. Both tropical and temperate climates allow agricultural crops to be raised here without any difficulty. Agricultural crops include rice, wheat, jawar-bajra, cotton, tea and oilseeds.

High temperatures have resulted in ever growing seasons: Agricultural crops are raised throughout the year.

Sudden rise in temperatures in summer culminates in less and partially grown grains. Hence our production of food grains is inferior in quality.

Western depressions cause rains in the North-western parts of the country in winter. It is ideal for wheat cultivation.

Dry summer causes dearth of fodder for animals. Uncertainty and unevenness of rainfall causes damages to agricultural crops. It also

creates twin problems of floods and famines in the country. Mosquitoes breed in large numbers in rainy season, causing Malaria. Other diseases

which cause anxiety in this season are Cholera and Diphtheria.

Indian agricultures tryst with monsoon, or the South-West monsoon to be precise, is an age-old

one. It is also unique. There is hardly any other climatic event across the globe that can match

the Asian monsoon in its grandiose sweep and bearing on the economy. The monsoon that hits

India is the largest in the world because of the extent of area covered, which is practically the

whole subcontinent. Industry in India depends greatly on the monsoon, says Laxman Singh

Rathore, Director General, India Meteorological Department (IMD). It is believed that only the

agriculture sector is affected by monsoon. Despite its contribution to the GDP declining to 15

per cent, it remains a vital sector for rural India where 65 per cent of our population resides. But

all other sectors, particularly power, are equally dependent on the season, adds Rathore.

A century ago, Viceroy Lord George Curzon had said that the Indian economy is a gamble on the

monsoon. Rathore agrees that it continues to be so. Weather patterns impact farm and

industrial output, labour productivity, energy demands and health. India, which is the worlds

second-biggest grower of rice and wheat, depends on the June-September rains to water its

farms because about 60 per cent of arable land isnt irrigated. Farmers rely on the timing of the

monsoon to decide which crops to grow. The season typically starts on the first day of June.

Every few years, parts of the country are impacted due to insufficient rains. This drives up food

prices and hits electricity output. This causes inflation, the bugbear of policymakers, to flare up.

Riding the luck

The Indian monsoons, among the most prominent and oldest weather patterns in the world, are

perhaps unique in terms of their profound economic significance, affecting the lives of 25 per

cent of the worlds population that live in the Indian sub-continent. In India alone, monsoon

rains are vital to the farm sector which accounts for 14 per cent of the national economy and

around 50 per cent of employment. Moreover, half of Indias farmland lacks irrigation. Yet, it has

proven notoriously difficult to predict, and understanding of the phenomenon is still evolving.

In addition, the good monsoon is likely to stimulate rural employment and give a fillip to

industrial production as well.

Searching for perfection- Innovative Methods Required to Deal with

Deficient Monsoon

Need of the hour is to develop latest technologies that enhance farmers confidence and give a higher cost-benefit ratio are organic practices such as growing green manure, and plant protection measures, such as applying a herbal decoction.

The present scenario exemplifies the importance of making agriculture in India more drought resistant and increasing agricultural water use efficiency to produce more crop per drop.The Centers for International Projects Trust, affiliated with the Columbia Water Center at the Earth Institute, has undertaken various low cost technological innovations to reduce the amount of water used for the production of rice and wheat.

In Central Punjab, India, the center and Punjab Agricultural University worked with 8,000 farmers to achieve a 12-15 percent reduction in water use through the use of low cost tensiometers, a tool used to measure the moisture content of the soil. These savings also correspond to a reduction in energy usage for groundwater extraction. The center plans to introduce a new, easy-to-use and low-cost soil moisture sensor that will inform farmers when to irrigate their fields.

In Gujarat, India, the center has been pilot testing the use of GW-11 variety of wheat with farmers in the Mehsana district of North Gujarat. GW-11 is drought resistant and produces yields that are comparable to the traditional variety of wheat. The center is in the process of collecting this harvest seasons GW-11 crop yield measurement data with the intent to analyze the production versus the number of irrigations. Initial findings indicate that the GW-11 variety requires less irrigation than traditional wheat.

Low cost innovations not only reduce water usage in agriculture but also make farmers less vulnerable to climate variability, especially as it relates to the monsoon season. Simple solutions like the ones being developed by the center have the potential to be widely adopted and lead to significant water savings and growth in agricultural production.

The table below shows the impact of a normal versus below normal southwest monsoon season

on the production of two major food grains rice and wheat across the past decade.

Source : DAC data book and IMD Reports

The data shows a decrease in the production of rice and wheat during drought years (2002,

2004 and2009).

Rain fed districts and their crops District wise Rainfall

Precipitation in India is unevenly distributed over time and space. As shown in Figure 3, average

annual rainfall varies across districts, with less than 500mm in districts of western Rajasthan to

more than 1,500mm in the northeast. Figure 4 shows that rain-fed rice is mostly prevalent in

the eastern and northeastern parts of India, whereas coarse cereals are mainly confined to

western and central regions.



11

Agriculture Practice : Dependence on Monsoon

Thus we can say that we have to find alternatives to reduce dependence on monsoon, improve

agricultural productivity and create rural job opportunities. Dams used for irrigation projects

help produce electricity and transport facilities, as well as provide drinking water supplies to a

growing population, control floods and prevent droughts. Indian economy is vitally linked with

the monsoon because of its water resources. The distinct advantage of hydro-electric power

over all other types of power is that its source, i.e. monsoon water, is perennial, although it

shows some fluctuations from year to year. The population of India is increasing at a much

faster rate than the total food grains production and soon the country may be facing a serious

economic crisis. A large part of the monsoon water which is currently unutilized should be held

at suitable locations for irrigation and possible power generation.
