Adaptation at Sacle in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR)

Abstract

Although India’s economic growth has been notable in the last 20 years the country still faces stagnant agricultural growth, rising inequality, unemployment, and inadequate access to public services for the poor including domestic water. The semi-arid regions (SARs) of India face dynamic climatic and non-climatic risks. These risks, separately and in interaction, make people and communities living in these regions highly vulnerable.
