Correct Answer: drought year


Solution : The correct option is - Drought year

According to the Indian Meteorological Department, a year is considered to be an all-India drought when the country as a whole experiences a rainfall shortfall of more than 10% of normal and more than 20% of the country is impacted by drought conditions. IMD has further divided droughts into two major categories: severe drought, which occurs when rainfall falls below 50% of normal, and moderate drought, which occurs when rainfall falls between 25% and 50% of normal.
