Farming communities in semiarid areas of India are more vulnerable to impacts of weather
aberrations and scarcity of resources. It is well evident that Climate change disproportionately
affects the people occupying the lowest economic strata of the society having least capacity to
respond and adapt to such rapid environmental change but are historically the least responsible
for its causes. Untimely and uncertain extreme weather events create adverse impacts affecting
crop yield parameters, losses to village level resources and infrastructure particularly rural
communities in climatically vulnerable areas. The capacity of farmers to cope with such
different forms of risk will become ever more crucial, and extension efforts must pay special
attention to educating farmers about their options to enhance resilience and response capacity
(IPCC, 2007).
Accurate climate information on climate resilient technologies and the ability to interpret it
allow farmers to plan and make better decisions on how to adapt to climate change. Livelihood
support includes strengthening community organization, natural resource management, income
generation, access to markets and living conditions, combined with building capacity to
analyze hazards and stresses and improved early warning and contingency planning. This is
further adapted for climate change by improving people’s ability to deal with uncertainty by
promoting knowledge, access to information and support for learning and experimentation
