520			_aThe focus of the article is to trace the process of developmental intervention by the state through the five year plans to alleviate the effects of drought and also to promote the prospects of dry land agriculture as a viable alternative to irrigated farming. Drought is an inevitable natural phenomenon. But drought is likely to drift into famine as the latter is largely man-made. Therefore, there is a need for insulating agriculture and the economy as well from the depressive effects of drought through a developmental approach rather than viewing drought as a concern for crisis management. - Reproduced.
