Abstract

The uncertainty surrounding the impact of climate change is depicted by an associated increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events. It is bound to influence agricultural production across India. With this background, the current study taps into the effects of three hailstorm events during the month of March in Hisar, Haryana. The study records the significant influence of hailstorms on crop productivity. With the increase in climate variability, there is bound to be a direct effect on agricultural production, hence, the need to develop an elaborate policy framework to deal with such extreme weather events. The absence of an objective post-disaster contingency plan with respect to localized extreme events such as hailstorms affects the farmers’ income, especially in agriculture-based states like Haryana. The study emphasizes the need for a structured disaster framework to deal with the impact of hailstorm events on crop production.
