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.

In India, drought is a recurrent problem, affecting many regions of the country, particularly in the arid and semi-arid areas. Drought can be caused by various factors, including changes in the distribution and intensity of rainfall, as well as human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and over-extraction of groundwater.
