&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Till 2020, 7.86% of India&amp;rsquo;s land was under drought-like conditions &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over a fifth of India&amp;rsquo;s land area (21.06 per cent) is facing drought-like conditions, according to recent data released by Drought Early Warning System (DEWS), a real-time drought-monitoring platform.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This is 62 per cent more than the area under drought during the same period last year, which was 7.86 per cent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The 21.06 per cent area is under different degrees of drought &amp;mdash; ranging from abnormally dry to exceptionally dry. While 1.63 per cent area and 1.73 per cent land is under &amp;lsquo;extreme dry&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;exceptional dry&amp;rsquo; conditions, 2.17 per cent is under &amp;lsquo;severe&amp;rsquo; dry conditions. As much as 8.15 per cent is under &amp;lsquo;moderate&amp;rsquo; dry conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Around 7.38 per cent land is &amp;lsquo;abnormally&amp;rsquo; dry, according to the latest data released August 16, 2021.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Several north, central and eastern states have been witnessing dry conditions of late. Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha and some north-eastern states like Nagaland are under severe to exceptional drought like conditions, according to estimates based on the last two months&amp;rsquo; rainfall patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
