ICRISAT Economics Program initiated the VLS in two villages of Gujarat. The aim was to understand the traditional methods of farming in the SAT region. This dataset contains details on General Endowment Schedule (GES) in these villages during the study period. GES for information on resource endowments (family composition, land, livestock, farm implements, residential building, consumer durables, stock inventory, debt and credit) of the household; role of gender in ownership and decision making; coping mechanisms adopted by the household during drought years. VDSA Database

In May 1975, ICRISAT Economics Program initiated the VLS in two villages of Telangana (Aurepalle and Dokur). The aim was to understand the traditional methods of farming in the SAT region. Datasets contain the cultivation details of these two villages. Cultivation Schedule has records, operations and their costs in input-output form for each plot held by the household. It also includes the important characteristics of each plot and subplot such as soil type, ownership, irrigation status, land value, and revenue. VDSA Database

Here we argue that climate-related losses are of greater magnitude than, and inventoried less than, the losses due to climatic extremes and natural disasters. It tries to answer questions such as what do the data indicate for the regions? Comparative assessment and regional trends are reported for: (i) the semi-arid tropics of India; (ii) the Mekong river region and north-east region of Vietnam; (iii) the semi-arid north-east region of Thailand; (iv) the drought and flood plains of Bangladesh; and (v) the dry regions of Sri Lanka.
