Madhya Pradesh, a state of Central India is
experiencing dramatic climate events such as extreme
rainfall, floods and droughts events resulting into the
reduced agricultural productivity and distress in
agrarian communities. Agriculture sector is the main
stay of the state's economy with 31 % share, supports
74 % of rural population and 71 % of the state's
workforce. Of the 15 million hectares of net sown area,
only about 38 % is Irrigated (MP DPR 2016).
Rainfall during monsoon is projected to increase
between 0.5-30.0% over the baseline period values
(Naresh Kumar et al., 2014) with greater variability.
Climate change is projected to increase the monsoon o
season mean maximum temperatures by 1.1 to 1.9 C
in 2030 (2020-2050) period in A1b scenario in Madhya
Pradesh (MP SAPCC 2014). The eastern and south-
eastern parts of the state has been experiencing high
runoff because of relatively higher rainfall over a very
brief period, high gradient and presence of crystalline
rocks. As a result, most of the streams are almost dry
for 4 to 6 months in the year (Jan to June). To address
the above vulnerabilities, the given project puts
climate change adaptation plan for the agriculture
sector at the centre-stage. The project aims to address
these concerns through appropriate interventions like
nutrient management, water conservation techniques
and energy smart techniques.

Project Approach:
Vulnerability and Risk Assessment with respect to Climate Change was carried out in Madhya Pradesh under the project namely Climate Change Adaptation in Rural Areas of India (CCARAI). Composite vulnerability index was formulated based on social, economic, climate, water, agriculture, forest, health and environment vulnerabilities incorporating appropriate indicators for each. According to the varying vulnerabilities accorded to individual indices, 3 districts namely Sehore, Rajgarh and Satna having high composite vulnerability have been chosen for implementation of the project activities. The 20 villages in each district have been chosen based on interview sessions with district authorities, villagers, and data on proxy indicators like supply of water through tankers, crop failure compensation, primary consultation with concerned farmer groups. The interventions would help to improve adaptation planning, allocation of resources, and raising awareness about climate change amongst stakeholders at different levels of project implementation.
Project Impacts:
Ø Water conservation and crop diversification initiatives would be implemented in 1,650 hectare area and 5,040 ha area respectively to cover 60 project villages.
Ø Training and capacity building activity would be carried out for 1,000 farmers for Climate Knowledge Building.
Ø ICT based weather advisory would be provided for 150 families of the project villages.
Ø Nutrient smart interventions would be carried out in 46,800 ha. area.
Ø Energy Smart Interventions, viz., Biogas, Solar, etc. would be carried out for 300 families of the project villages.
