The rainfall deficit has severely impacted agriculture in Arunachal Pradesh, where many families depend on farming for their livelihood. The lack of adequate rainfall has increased the risk of soil moisture stress, particularly in rainfed areas like East Siang district. Farmers are being forced to abandon their fields or seek alternative livelihoods, raising concerns about food security in the region. The situation highlights the vulnerability of traditional agricultural practices to changing weather patterns and the urgent need for climate adaptation measures.
