The information generated through the study and discussion with the members of the focused group of stakeholders made valuable contributions which would facilitate the concerned development departments to incorporate the findings in their action plans for dealing with the issues of climate change, thereby improving the quality of life of people by ensuring their livelihoods. I sincerely acknowledge my gratitude to Shri Ajatshatru Shrivastava, IAS, Executive Director, EPCO, Bhopal for providing guidance and encouragement for undertaking the study. I also gratefully acknowledge a deep sense of gratitude towards Shri Lokendra Thakkar, Co-ordinator SKMCCC EPCO, Bhopal for providing the technical guidance, thought provoking comments, and constructive criticism in conducting the study and preparing the report. I also avail this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Shantanu Das, Governance Advisor , Department for International Development, New Delhi for technical and financial support. I would like to express my gratitude to those who have provided their valuable contribution for completing the work, in particular to Mr. Jay Anand, resource person on Water, Dr. K.K. Saxena, resource person on Agriculture, Mr. Kiran P Mali, resource person on Forest, Mr. Rohit Johri and Bhopal team of Development Alternatives. I also extend my sincere thanks to Dr. S.N. Pandey, his team and all stakeholders of four blocks who spared their valuable time for providing the detailed information for primary data collection. I acknowledge the support and guidance by the officials and staff of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, State Forest Department, District Statistical officer, Divisional Forest Officer, Department of Farmers’ Welfare and Agriculture Development, Department of Horticulture and Animal Husbundary, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Department of Land records, Water Resource Departments, Central Ground Water Board etc. Thanks are due to the respondents who have spared their valuable time while providing the inputs for primary survey. Dr. Umnesh Pattnaik deserves a special mention, who guided us in framing the interview schedule for the study purpose.

With the above conceptualization of climatic variability, the present study developed and tested the application of a Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) for water, agriculture and forest resource dependent communities in the semi-arid regions of Datia district. The index was administered for a composite-cum-sectoral (Agriculture, Water, Social, Forest and Health) study of each block of the district that is known to bear extremely severe impacts of climate change year after year. The adopted LVI entailed a secondary data (53 indicators at the block level) and primary data analysis that highlighted Household Details, Migration Status, Housing Conditions, Land, Crop and Livestock Details, Awareness and Access to Govt. Interventions and Schemes, Consumption and Health Expenses, Health and Food Security, Household Assets, Loan, Credit and Savings, Impact of Climatic Aberrations and Adaptation (Farm and Non-Farm Based including water, agriculture and forest), focusing exposure, sensitivity and their adaptive capacity. The results of the secondary data analysis suggested that one of the blocks – Bhander - was the most vulnerable on the composite scale, which perfectly fitted in with Health, Forest and social dimensions but displayed variance in Agriculture and water vulnerability scale. Further, the comparative analysis of calculated sensitivity and adaptive capacity of both primary and secondary data have shown that Seondha
