        Climate Change and Plantations in The Humid Tropics

        by GSHLV Prasada Rao & C.S.Gopakumar

        Weather and climate play an important role in plantation crops production. While climate determines the adaptability of a particular crop in a region, weather determines the yield attributes of the crop. The global warming and climate change impacts on plantation crops are evident in the form of extreme weather events like floods, droughts, cold and heat waves and strong cyclonic winds, the frequency of which is likely to be more and more in the ensuing decades as noticed year after year around the globe in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2015. It is now a topic of concern and the plantations economy is in a threat in the ensuing decades due to climate variability. Decline in monsoon rainfall with number of rainy days, increasing ambient air temperatures (both day maximum and night minimum), decline in groundwater table, decline in wetland area and surface water resources, increasing number of forest fires and decline in forest area, increasing events of landslides during both the monsoon seasons, indiscriminate sand mining from river beds and unscientific land filling are the important climate change related issues in the Humid Tropics.

        Climate Resilient Animal Agriculture

        by GSLHV Prasada Rao

        Animal husbandry is strongly influenced by weather and climate. Climate change/variability imposes multiple stresses in animals and thus vital to understand the impact of environmental stress on livestock production and reproduction. Among the environmental variables affecting livestock, heat stress seems to be one of the more intriguing factors making difficult animal reproduction and production. Information and knowledge on animal responses to the environment continues to be in process, managing livestock to reduce the impact of adverse weather and climate remains a challenge. Responding to the challenges of global warming necessitate a paradigm shift in the practice of agriculture and in the role of livestock within the farming system. The key thematic issues on environment stress and livestock production includes: early warning system, multiple stress research, exploitation of genetic potential of native breeds, suitable breeding programme and nutritional intervention research. Livestock farmers should have key roles in determining what adaptation and mitigation strategies they support if these have to sustain livestock production in changing climate. The integration of new technologies into the research and technology transfer systems potentially offers many opportunities to further the development of climate change adaptation strategies. This publication is therefore a multi-authored attempt to present the scientific fraternity high quality resource material in the field of climate change and livestock production. Attempts were made to discuss the adaptive mechanism that the animal exhibits to counteract the adverse effects of heat stress. In addition to the adaptive mechanisms, several management and feeding practices have also been established as tested methods for reduction of stress effects in livestock. It also highlights the challenges the livestock industry faces in maintaining the delicate balance between animal welfare and production. This book is a comprehensive resource for the researchers, teachers and students to understand stress, stress management and livestock productivity so as to sustain animal production in the Country under projected climate change scenario.

        by G. Durga Rao

        Digital Governance in India: Policies, Practices, and Challenges offers a rigorous, India-centric account of how ICTs have reshaped the state–citizen relationship over the last two decades and how they can power Viksit Bharat@2047. Bridging theory and practice, the book maps the evolution from e-government pilots to platformized service delivery at national scale—covering legal-policy frameworks, federated digital infrastructures (India Stack, Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker), and sectoral platforms that now mediate education, health, agriculture, finance, and justice. Going beyond “what works,” it interrogates implementation gaps, ethical risks, data governance, and inclusion—especially across rural–urban, gender, linguistic, and disability divides—while highlighting innovations from states, municipalities, start-ups, and civil society. Designed for graduate/postgraduate courses in Public Administration and allied social sciences, the volume blends conceptual clarity with applied learning through Indian caselets, policy design exercises, and evaluation toolkits. By foregrounding constitutional values, participatory design, and accountability, the book argues for a people-centric digital state—efficient and transparent, yet also just and humane. It equips students, researchers, and practitioners to critically assess outcomes, measure public value, and craft the next generation of reforms for an inclusive, resilient, and future-ready India. Key Features ? India-specific theory–practice synthesis with comparative cues ? Deep dives on law, policy, standards, and architectures (APIs, ID, payments, cloud, broadband) ? Caselets from Union, state, and urban/rural contexts; failure analyses included ? Ethics, privacy, cybersecurity, and AI governance integrated throughout ?

        Weather Forecasting

        by Surender Singh, V Uma Maheswara Rao, BV Ramana Rao

        Natural farming, rooted in ecological balance and minimal external inputs, deeply depends on understanding natural rhythms - especially weather patterns. This book, Weather Forecasting is designed as a foundational resource to equip learners, young farmers, and practitioners with essential knowledge of weather science and its practical applications in natural farming. The book provides a simplified yet scientifically grounded introduction to weather systems, forecasting techniques, and agrometeorological tools. It emphasizes how farmers practicing natural or organic farming can benefit from timely weather forecasts to plan critical activities such as sowing, irrigation, mulching, plant protection, and harvesting. With changing climate conditions and increasing weather uncertainties, the book underscores the need for every natural farmer to become ‘weather literate’ - able to read forecasts, interpret signals from nature, and respond appropriately. Chapters cover topics such as cloud types and rainfall prediction, wind and temperature patterns, monsoon behavior, local weather indicators, and traditional weather wisdom, along with an introduction to modern agrometeorological tools, techniques and farm-advisories. Written in a student-friendly style with illustrations, summary tables, and practical tips, this book bridges the gap between atmospheric science and ground-level sustainable farming. It is especially relevant for students of agricultural universities, natural farming training programs, rural institutions, and extension workers. By integrating weather intelligence into natural farming, this book hopes to empower the next generation of climate-smart, ecologically mindful farmers who can work in harmony with nature — sustainably and profitably.

        Introductory Agricultural Meteorology

        by Surender Singh, V Uma Maheswara Rao & BV Ramana Rao

        Introductory Agricultural Meteorology is a foundational textbook that introduces students to the core principles of atmospheric and agricultural sciences, with a strong emphasis on practical applications in farming and agri-environmental management. Beginning with basic concepts such as the structure of the atmosphere, solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation, the book gradually transitions into specialized areas including weather forecasting, climatic classification, microclimate management, and agrometeorological advisory services. The book explores the critical relationships between weather parameters and plant physiology, highlighting how changes in climate affect phenology, pest and disease incidence, irrigation scheduling, and crop yield forecasting. It introduces emerging themes like climate-smart agriculture, decision support systems, and the role of agrometeorology in precision farming and disaster risk reduction. Clear explanations, illustrations, case studies, and chapter-end questions make it an ideal learning tool for undergraduate students, extension workers, and aspiring agricultural professionals. This book not only serves as an academic text but also as a practical guide that empowers readers with meteorological insights essential for making informed, weather-resilient agricultural decisions.
