District location map within the state as Annexure I Included: Yes / No Average annual rainfall as Annexure 2 Attached: Yes / No. Normal start followed by dry spell 15-20 days after sowing leading to poor germination/crop stand etc. Cotton, Redgram Mulching to prevent the formation of new vegetative and reproductive flush Supplemental irrigation if possible.
Irrigated situation
Greengram Select the short duration varieties if terminal drought is a common phenomenon in the region (LGG-460, MGG-348).
Unusual rains (untimely, unseasonal etc) (for both rainfed and irrigated situations)
Dry the grain to proper moisture percentage before bagging and storing to prevent deterioration in quality during storage. Dry the capsules properly to proper moisture percentage before bagging and storing to prevent deterioration in quality during storage. If the tree is over eight years old, a booster dose of 500 g urea and 750 g MOP per tree must be applied.
Sand molding around the logs must be removed up to the collar area of the tree to prevent fungal infections. Top dressing of booster dose of 12 kg MOP + 30 kg Urea per acre as soon as possible. Gap filling can be taken up if the plants are two weeks old and there is still a sowing window available for the crop.
In case of severe damage (considered as complete economic loss), and the emergency period is from June to August, planting of the best alternative crop should be taken. Rice stem rot and hull rupture - plant protection measures should be taken based on incidence levels. Incidence of BPH, Blast, Blight may increase due to unseasonal rainfall - plant protection based measures should be taken.
Cotton jassids, wilt and root rot, bacterial leaf blight - Necessity-based crop protection measures should be initiated. Jassids, Spodoptera, wilt and root rot, bacterial leaf disease, gray mildew - Necessity-based plant protection measures should be taken. Dry the seed cotton thoroughly after picking and store it in the shade in an airy place.
Castor jassids, wilt, Bihar hairy caterpillar, Castor semi looper and spodoptera – Need based plant protection measures should be taken. Botrytis, Wilt, Bihar hairy caterpillar, Castor gray rot, semi looper, capsule borer and Spodoptera - Necessity based plant protection measures should be taken. Gray rot, capsule borer, Botrytis and wilt. Necessity-based plant protection measures must be taken.
Floods
Spray two to three times with fungicides such as copper oxychloride 0.3% or carbendazim 0.1% or mancozeb 0.25%, two to three times with chemical rotations to control bacterial leaf blight, alternaria wilt, leaf spot and gray mold. Start by intercropping at optimum soil moisture to loosen and aerate the soil and control weeds. Carry out timely control measures against a possible outbreak of pod rotifer, maruca, helicovera, etc.
Spread the rain-soaked bundles on field bales or drying floors to speed drying. Capsules should be dried on elevated surfaces such as piled mounds or drying floors. Bhendi Drain excess water immediately Drain excess water as Drain excess water.
Top fertilization of 10 kg MOP + 30 kg Urea per acre as soon as possible.

Detailed Contingent strategies for Livestock
Chopping of fodder should be made compulsory in every village by provision and establishment of good quality chaff cutters. Harvesting and collection of perennial vegetation, especially grasses that grow during monsoon. Proper drying, bailing and compaction of harvested grass from previous season. UMMB, hay, concentrates and vitamin and mineral mixes should be transported initially from the reserves at the district level to the needy areas and in the final stages from the nearby districts.
The herd should be separated and supplementation given only to highly productive and breeding animals. Provision of emergency grazing/feeding (cow-calf camps or other special arrangements to protect production and breeding stock). Motivate farmers to mix dry fodder with available kitchen waste or groundnut burrs during feeding.
Arrangements should be made for mobilization of small ruminants across the drought-prone villages, with subsidized road/rail transport and temporary shelter for the herders. Supply silage and/or hay at subsidized rates to those farmers who have high productive stock. Supplying quality seeds of fodder varieties and motivating farmers to cultivate at least 10% of their land holdings for fodder production.
List of the endemic diseases (species wise) in the concerned district and keep vaccines for these diseases Timely vaccination (as per attached vaccination. Surveillance and disease surveillance network to be established at Joint Director (Livestock) office in the district. Restriction of movement of livestock if any epidemic Close observation of animals for oestrus symptoms.
Insurance Encouragement of insurance of livestock. List of the details of the dead animals. Submission for insurance claim and utilization of insurance benefit. Harvest rainwater and create water bodies/water points (when water is scarce, use only as drinking water for animals). Shortage of feed ingredients Storage of household grains like maize, broken rice, bajra etc, to be used as feed in case of severe drought.
Fisheries/ Aquaculture
Drought A. Capture
Assessment of damage to boats and nets and provision of boats and nets for livelihood restoration (iii) Number of houses damaged Avoidance of building houses. in flood prone areas, building pucca houses on elevated places,. Assessment of damage to houses and provision of compensation in case of partial damage and sanctioned house under existing schemes. iv) Loss of stock Avoidance of surface species such as katla, silver carp as they are vulnerable in tanks prone to flooding, erecting nets over the spillway or just beyond it. Erection of nets at spillways Installation of compensating stocking. v) Changes in water quality When dissolved oxygen levels go. down, aerators, recirculation of water, etc. should try to maintain DO levels, go for partial crop etc. vi) Health and diseases Sometimes there can be large accumulation of nutrients and organic matter.
Addition of antibiotics such as Chloro Tetra Cycline or Oxytetracycline to the feed to control the disease.
