    Droughts in India significantly increase mortality, primarily due to malnutrition. Sociological factors show fragile populations suffer the most during these environmental crises.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Sociology
    • Public Health
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Droughts pose significant threats to human populations, impacting health and survival.
    • Understanding the social dimensions of drought-related health outcomes is crucial for effective interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the social aspects of drought-induced morbidity and mortality in India.
    • To investigate the correlation between drought events and mortality trends in Rajasthan.

    Main Methods:

    • Mortality data from Rajasthan State in the 1980s were analyzed.
    • Sociological stratification of populations into fragile, resilient, and potent groups was employed.

    Main Results:

    • A significant increase in death rates was observed, correlating with the 1987 drought.

  • The fragile population segment experienced the most severe impacts.

    • Conclusions:

    • Droughts exacerbate mortality through malnutrition, with social stratification influencing vulnerability.
    • Targeted support for fragile populations is essential during drought periods.
