What is drought? Explain major drought prone areas of India.  

Drought is a natural phenomenon that occurs when there is a persistent lack of rainfall over an extended period of time, resulting in a shortage of water for various human and environmental needs. Drought can have significant impacts on food production, water resources, and ecosystems, as well as on human health, livelihoods, and social and economic systems.
