Objectives: Corroboration of rainfall and waterborne diseases are available in abundance; therefore, the objective of this article is to calculate the climate and disease vulnerability index (CDVI) value for each block of Kalahandi. Methods: We have applied the livelihood vulnerability index with some modifications and classify the three major categories, i.e., exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity into six subcategories. These six subcategories are further divided into 26 vulnerability indicators based on a detailed literature review. Results: The result indicated that the Thuamul Rampur block, the southernmost part of the district is highly exposed to the annual and seasonal mean rainfall, and the Madanpur Rampur block lies in the northernmost part of the district is highly exposed to...

As of 1st January 2021, India has recorded 10,305,788 cases and 149,218 deaths from this deadly pandemic. It has been observed through the data; across states and UTs, the trend and pattern of this disease are not similar at all. There are many reasons for these dissimilarities which are categorized into indicators to assess the vulnerability in this study. We have examined vulnerabilities in 28 states and 8 UTs of India. Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) has been applied with certain modifications to calculate the Vulnerability Index (VI). The figure resulting from the vulnerability assessment corresponds that the factors involved in the three-section exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity had a significant impact on deciding the vulnerability of the population. The result identified the states and UTs which are more vul...

In the Indian context, if we observe the rising number of dengue cases, it could be treated as a major cause of health concern for the government of this country. Nowadays, an increasing number of dengue incidences are reported from different Indian states which are leading to unfortunate hospitalization and fatal death of the people. Keeping the context in mind, we have examined the relationship between the ENSO events, inter-annual variability in dengue cases in major states of India and Indian summer monsoonal rainfall (ISMR). In this study, we use Pearson’s product-moment correlation (hereafter PPMC) to find out the interconnections between ‘+ winter ONI’ (OND, NDJ, DJF, and JFM seasons) events, rainfall index for the JJAS season (June, July, August, September) and annual 10 major state-level data of dengue cases index for the pa...

The unique physiography and climatic system support agriculture at a very large scale. Several reports and research papers have documented that about 65% to 70% of the country population is still dependent on the agriculture for meeting their basic livelihood needs. Nowadays, agricultural system is facing a lot of social and natural issues that leads to its vulnerability. Uttar Pradesh is a major contributor to the food production of this country as the region falls in the Indo-Gangetic plains. Major social, economic and institutional constraints faced by the agricultural system in the Ghazipur district of Uttar are investigated in the paper. The district is situated along the two major rivers Ganga and Gomti. The present study may lead to identifying the major challenges faced by the farmers at the ground level.

The variation and change in the global climatic factors have a notable impact on the local climate of a region. The changing climate is widely regarded as one of the most serious global health threats of the 21 century. Among various kinds of diseases, the most vulnerable to these changes are vector-borne diseases. In the Indian context, particularly Delhi city is the most vulnerable to dengue, a kind of vector-borne disease having its highest impact. We sought to identify and explore the correlation and influence of the global climatic phenomena and local climatic factors with the reported number of dengue cases in Delhi. The temporal expansions of reported dengue cases in Delhi have a variation from its first major outbreak in the city during the year 1996 to 2015. A statistical tool like Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) is used in this study to establish the interrelationship and...
