GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT), DROUGHT

1. Introduction

1.1 In accordance with the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, Drought

Management Division in the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare

(DAC&FW) is mandated with the coordination of relief measures necessitated by drought,

hailstorm, pest attack and cold wave/frost. The State Governments have full authority to

initiate relief measures in the wake of eligible/notified natural calamities by utilising the

State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) as per extant guidelines of the Ministry of Home

Affairs (MHA). State-wise allocation under SDRF for the period 2015-16 to 2019-20 is at

Annexure-I.

1.2 State Governments can seek additional financial assistance, from the National

Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) in the Central Government to provide relief in the event of

natural calamities of ‘Severe’ nature, if the SDRF proves to be inadequate for the purpose.

In order to avail of funds under NDRF, State Governments are first required to declare a

disaster (which in this case being drought) and notify it appropriately. A Memorandum of

financial assistance is then submitted by State Government to the DAC&FW, which is

verified at the ground level by an Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT) in accordance with

extant norms and procedures. The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries and is

headed by a Joint Secretary in the DAC&FW. The report of the IMCT is screened by the

sub-committee of the National Executive Committee (SC-NEC) chaired by Secretary

DAC&FW and the final decision on the quantum of financial assistance rests with a High

Level Committee (HLC). DAC&FW has updated and revised the Manual for Drought

Management in 2016, taking cognizance of improved, more objective and science based

parameters for drought monitoring and assessment.

2. Manual for Drought Management 2016

The revised Manual is meant to serve as a guide for the agencies engaged in the

prevention, mitigation and management of drought. However, adherence to the prescription

in the Manual in matters of determination and declaration of drought has been made

mandatory by the MHA. The Manual becomes effective from the Kharif 2017.

2.1 Broad Indices and Factors Related to Drought

a. Mandatory Indicators

Rainfall Related Indices

-Rainfall deviation – expresses departure in rainfall from its normal value (Long

Period Average) in percentage terms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD)

classification of Rainfall deviation is given below:

-1-

Page 3: GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT ...agricoop.nic.in/sites/default/files/IMCT Guidelinses Sept. 2017 (1).pdf · The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries

Deviation from

Normal Rainfall (%)

Category

+ 19 to -19 Normal

-20 to -59 Deficient

-60 to -99 Large Deficient, scanty

-100 No rain

-Dry Spell – a short period usually of 4 weeks of scanty rainfall or no rainfall (3

weeks in case of light soils).

-Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) – expresses the actual rainfall as a standardized

departure with respect to rainfall probability distribution function. It can be positive,

zero or negative. Positive values indicate wetness and negative values indicate

dryness. The categories of SPI are:

SPI value value Category

< -2 Extremely Dry

-1.5 to -1.99 Severely Dry

-1.0 to -1.49 Moderately Dry

0 to -0.99 Mildly Dry

b. Impact Indicators

i. Remote Sensing Based Vegetation Indices – regular monitoring of crop

conditions/vigour over larger regions through satellite remote sensing

technology and include the following:-

- Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): The NDVI values for

vegetation generally range from 0.2 to 0.6, the higher values being associated

with greater green leaf and biomass.

- Normalized Difference Wetness Index (NDWI): Higher values of NDWI

signify more surface wetness.

- NDVI/NDWI of more than -30% deviation from the normal signifies severe

drought conditions.

- Vegetation Condition Index (VCI): It is expressed in percentage and higher

values indicate good vegetation. Classification of Vegetation condition based

on VCI values are:

-2-

Page 4: GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT ...agricoop.nic.in/sites/default/files/IMCT Guidelinses Sept. 2017 (1).pdf · The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries

VCI Value (%) Vegetation condition

60-100 Good

40-60 Fair

20-40 Poor

0-20 Very Poor

The ‘Very Poor’ condition is indicative of a ‘severe’ drought like situation.

ii. Crop Situation Related Indices -

Area Under Sowing –The extent of sowing is an important indicator of the spread

and severity of drought as sowing operations are linked to rainfall and

availability of water during initial growth stage. Drought condition is said to exist

if the total sown area under Kharif crops was less than 33.3% of the total normal

sown area by the end of July/August. However, the reduction in sown area to

extent of 50% or more of the normal up to July/August is indicative of severe

drought. In the case of Rabi crops, coverage of sowing of less than 50% of the

total normal sown area during October-November is a strong indicator of a

drought like situation.

iii. Soil Moisture Based Indices -

Available soil moisture is a very relevant indicator of drought, especially in

rainfed regions. The two indices used are :-

Percent Available Soil Moisture (PASM).

PASM (%) Agricultural Drought Class

76-100 No Drought

51-75 Mild Drought

26-50 Moderate Drought

0-25 Severe Drought

Moisture Adequacy Index (MAI). Classification of Agricultural Drought based

on MAI is given below:

MAI (%) Agricultural Drought Class

76-100 No Drought

51-75 Mild Drought

26-50 Moderate Drought

0-25 Severe Drought

-3-

Page 5: GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT ...agricoop.nic.in/sites/default/files/IMCT Guidelinses Sept. 2017 (1).pdf · The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries

iv. Hydrological Indices- based on data in respect of stream-flow, reservoir

storage and ground water table. These are:-

Reservoir Storage Index (RSI)

The availability of water in reservoirs acts as an effective foil against drought.

The reservoir storage status derived from percentage of storage deficit vis-à-

vis long term averages provide an indication of drought. Category of deficit

based on %age deficit in live storage volume of reservoir is given below:

Percentage deficit Category of deficit

Less than 20 % Normal deficit

20-30 % Mild Deficit

30-40 % Moderate deficit

40-60 % Severe Deficit

More than 60% Extreme Deficit

The ‘severe’ and ‘extreme’ deficient categories are a portent of severe drought

like conditions.

Ground Water Drought Index (GWDI)

The rate of depletion of groundwater table is an indicator of ground water

availability for agriculture and drinking water supply. When rate of depletion

of groundwater table in a given month/period is more than the corresponding

mean value then it is an indication of water deficit. The GWDI and GW

Deficit class is given below:

GWDI Deficit Class

More than -0.15 Normal

-0.16 to -0.30 Mild

-0.31 to -0.45 Moderate

-0.46 to -0.60 Severe

Less than -0.60 Extreme

The ‘severe’ and ‘extreme’ classes above represent severe drought conditions.

Stream-Flow Drought Index (SFDI)

The flows in streams display high seasonal variability and the truncation level

is defined as 75% of dependable flow at a given time and for a given site over

a month long period. Water flow in a river or stream below the truncation

level is indicative of a drought like situation. Classification of Drought based

on Stream flow index is as under:

-4-

Page 6: GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT ...agricoop.nic.in/sites/default/files/IMCT Guidelinses Sept. 2017 (1).pdf · The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries

SFDI Drought Classght Class

Less than 0.01 Weak

0.01 to 0.05 Mild

0.05 to 0.2 Moderate

0.2 to 0.5 Severe

(c) Other factors to be considered

The following Socio-economic indicators may further assist in making a holistic

evaluation of drought:-

Extent of fodder supply and its prices as compared to normal prices

Information on cattle camps

Scarcity of drinking water supply

Demand for employment on public works

Current agricultural & non-agricultural wages compared to normal times

Supply of food grains and price situation of essential commodities.

2.2 Steps in determination of drought

Step 1: Mandatory indicators viz. RF deviation or SPI or Dry Spell will be considered as per

matrix given below to assess, if the Trigger 1 is to be set off:-

Matrix for rainfall deviations and dry spells (Trigger – 1)

Rf Dev/SPI Dry Spell Drought Trigger

Deficit or scanty rf/SPI< -1 Yes Yes

Deficit or scanty rf/SPI< -1 No Yes if rainfall is scanty or Sp < -1.5,

else No

Normal rf/SPI> -1 Yes Yes

Normal rf/SPI> -1 No No

The five possible scenarios are described below:

Scenario 1: If rainfall is normal or SPI is zero or positive and there is no Dry spell, there is no

question of a Drought Trigger.

Scenario 2: Even if rainfall is normal or SPI is zero or positive but Dry spell exists, Trigger 1

can be given

Scenario 3: A deficit rainfall/SPI less than -1coupled with dry spell, situation is favourable

for Trigger 1.

-5

Page 7: GUIDELINES FOR INTER-MINISTERIAL CENTRAL TEAM (IMCT ...agricoop.nic.in/sites/default/files/IMCT Guidelinses Sept. 2017 (1).pdf · The IMCT consists of experts from various ministries

Scenario 4: Even in the absence of a Dry spell, Trigger 1 can be given if the rainfall is scanty

or if SPI is less than -1.5

Scenario 5: If the following conditions (forming part of Drought Manual 2016) are fulfilled:-

i.a. if the total rainfall received during the months of June and July is deficient by 50% or

more as compared to the normal rainfall accompanied or otherwise with dry spell, and if

there is an adverse impact on area under sowing, vegetation and soil moisture, or

i.b. if the total rainfall received during the months of October and November is deficient

by 50% or more as compared to the normal rainfall accompanied or otherwise with dry spell,

and if there is an adverse impact on area under sowing, vegetation and soil moisture, or

ii. If the total rainfall for the entire duration of the rainy season of the State from June to

September (the South –West Monsoon) and/or from December to March (North-East

Monsoon), is deficient as measured by either rainfall deviation (less than 75% of the average

rainfall for the season) or SPI value less than -1.0 with or without dry spells, and there is an

adverse impact on area under sowing, vegetative health and soil moisture, as expressed

through the vegetation soil moisture indices.

Step 2: Whenever the Trigger 1 is setoff, the impact indicators will be examined in those

blocks/taluks/mandals for conditions of severe drought as per the matrix given below:-

Matrix for impact indicators (Trigger – 2)

S.No Impact Indicator (Any 3 to be considered) Value Category

1 Area under sowing

2 Soil Moisture based

(Select either PASM or MAI)

3 Remote sensing

(Select either VCI or NDVI/NDWI)

4 Hydrological Indices

(Select either RSI/GWDI/SFDI)

State Governments can consider any three of the four types of the impact indicators for

assessment of drought and intensity of the calamity. Out of three Hydrology based indicators,

States can select any one for assessment of drought. For remote sensing indicators, States

have a choice between VCI and NDVI/NDWI. States can opt for any one of the two moisture

parameters. This exercise should be done for the geographical area considered for declaration

of drought.

Severe Drought – If all the selected 3 impact indicators are in ‘Severe’ category

Moderate Drought – If two of the selected 3 impact indicators are in moderate or severe

category

Step 3: Once a determination of drought (whether moderate or severe) has been made at

Step II, States will then be required to carry out ground truthing in 10% of the randomly

selected villages in the affected areas before a final decision is taken regarding drought. If

the estimation of crop loss is between 33% and 50%, the drought will qualify as moderate.

Estimation of loss above 50% will qualify the area to be declared as severely affected. The

final decision on the intensity of drought will rest on the ground truthing exercise.

2.3 Declaration of drought

State Governments should declare ‘drought’ through a Notification, as drought and

not by any other nomenclature and also indicate the intensity as ‘moderate’ or

‘severe’, specifying clearly the geographic extent of the disaster.

2.4 Contents of Memorandum

State Governments are eligible for NDRF assistance as per extant MHA guidelines

only in case of severe drought and hence, a Memorandum should be submitted to the Central

Government for financial assistance from NDRF only for areas under severe drought

category and it should, inter alia, contain the following:

Declaration of Drought by a Notification/Government Order/Government Resolution

The Notification of drought will clearly specify area that is severely affected

(village/taluk/mandal/district).
