🔆 DROUGHT DECLARATION IN INDIA | MAHARASHTRA
📍 In News
🟢 Calls for declaring drought in Maharashtra are rising as rainfall deficit and water scarcity affect agriculture and crop prospects.
📍 Governing Framework
🟢 Disaster Management Act, 2005 → Legal framework for disaster management.
🟢 Manual for Drought Management, 2009 → Provides indicators and procedures for drought monitoring, declaration and proposals for Central assistance.
🟢 Guidelines for Management of Drought, 2010 → Guidance for drought management and early identification using different indicators.
🟢 The Manual and Guidelines are non-binding.
📍 Types of Drought
1️⃣ Meteorological Drought
🟢 Occurs when precipitation remains below normal for an extended period.
🟢 In India: seasonal rainfall <75% of long-term average.
🟢 26–50% deficit → Moderate drought.
🟢 >50% deficit → Severe drought.
2️⃣ Agricultural Drought
🟢 Occurs when rainfall and soil moisture are inadequate during the crop-growing season.
🟢 Leads to crop stress and wilting.
🟢 Linked to 4 consecutive weeks of severe meteorological drought during Kharif, or 6 weeks during the rest of the year.
3️⃣ Hydrological Drought
🟢 Deficiency in surface and groundwater supplies.
🟢 Can occur even with average or above-average rainfall when increased water use reduces available reserves.
📍 Who Declares Drought?
🟢 India has no single legally accepted definition of drought.
🟢 The State Government is the final authority to declare drought in the State or affected areas.
🟢 A drought need not cover an entire State or district.
📍 Drought Declaration Criteria
The 2009 Manual identifies four standard monitoring tools:
🟢 Rainfall deficiency
🟢 Area under sowing
🟢 NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
🟢 MAI – Moisture Adequacy Index
🟢 These indicators can be used in combination, with at least 3 adverse indicators/index values supporting drought declaration.
🟢 State assessment should conform to parameters specified under NDRF norms.
📍 After Drought Declaration
🟢 Relief measures begin after notification for affected areas.
🟢 Initial relief is provided through the Calamity Relief Fund (CRF)/State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).
🟢 If State resources are inadequate, the State can seek assistance from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF).
🟢 A Central team assesses the affected areas before Central assistance is released.
📍 Supreme Court – 2016
🟢 On 11 May 2016, the Supreme Court held that drought falls within the definition of “disaster” under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
🟢 Drought can be declared in a specific affected area such as a village, taluka, tehsil or block, rather than necessarily covering an entire State or district.
📍 UPSC Mains Question
🟢 India’s drought management framework seeks to move from rainfall-based assessment towards a multi-indicator approach. Discuss the criteria for drought declaration and the institutional mechanism for providing relief.

🔆 DILUTION REFRIGERATOR | QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
📍 In News
🟢 DRDO has signed its first high-value deep-tech TDF agreement with Zero mK India Pvt. Ltd., Alwar, Rajasthan, to develop an indigenous 20 mK dilution refrigerator.
🔆 WHAT IS A DILUTION REFRIGERATOR?
🟢 A specialised cryogenic system capable of achieving extremely low temperatures in the millikelvin (mK) range, from just above absolute zero to 1 K.
📍 Working Mechanism
🟢 Uses a mixture of Helium-3 (³He) and Helium-4 (⁴He).
🟢 Below 0.87 K, the helium mixture separates into a concentrated phase and a dilute phase.
🟢 Helium-3 movement: When ³He moves from the concentrated phase into the dilute phase, more ³He moves across to replace it.
🟢 Cooling: This movement of ³He removes heat from the system, producing extremely low temperatures.
🔆 APPLICATIONS
📍 Quantum Technology
🟢 Enables the operation and testing of quantum computing platforms and associated quantum technologies.
📍 Strategic & Industrial Importance
🟢 Indigenous development can reduce dependence on imported cryogenic infrastructure.
🟢 Strengthens India’s domestic quantum technology ecosystem.
🔆 DRDO–ZERO mK INDIA PROJECT
🟢 Technology → Indigenous dilution refrigerator
🟢 Target temperature → 20 mK
🟢 Company → Zero mK India Pvt. Ltd.
🟢 Location → Alwar, Rajasthan
🟢 Scheme → Technology Development Fund (TDF)
🟢 Deep-tech corpus → ₹500 crore
🟢 Strategic alignment → National Quantum Mission
🔆 QUICK RECALL
Dilution Refrigerator → ³He + ⁴He → <0.87 K phase separation → Heat removal → Millikelvin temperatures → Quantum computing
📍 UPSC Mains Question
🟢 How can indigenous development of advanced cryogenic systems strengthen India’s capabilities in quantum technology and strategic technologies?
