- The Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA) of ICAR worked on a kind of an early warning system called ‘farmers distress index’.
- It is a first of its kind for India.
- The main aim behind creating such an index is to minimise the agrarian distress in the form of crop loss / failure and income shock.
- Based on these 21 questions, the degree of distress will be identified.
- The index will have values from 0-1.
- A value between 0-0.5 will indicate ‘low distress’, 0.5-0.7 will indicate ‘moderate’ distress and above 0.7 will indicate ‘severe’ distress.
