Abstract
The scarcity of water in any geophysical conditions leads to drought. The vegetation conditions and rainfall need to be assessed efficiently to develop counter measures to tackle the drought. Hence various drought indices such as Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) were carefully analyzed. Results of VCI showed moderate to severe droughts occurred at study region for the year 2015 in the month of September. SPI and RAI results showed that monsoon months had negative values for all the places in drought year 2015. The eastern part of the research area is found to be prone to dry condition as per the results obtained. The risk of future drought conditions can be minimized with the help of this research.
