“Drought is a condition of moisture deficit       sufficient to have an adverse effect on vegetation, animals and man over a sizable area.”

Country’s experience is that-

 Ø      Drought can be prevented.

Ø      Drought can be mitigated.

 Ø      Hardships can be minimized.

Ø      Sufferings can be reduced.

If we work together at all levels, Drought is not a Disaster, but a Management Issue.
