Abstract

Present research paper attempt to analyze the rice production of Kalamb and Osmanabad Tahsil of Osmanabad district during the period 1991-2011. The welfare of large populations around the world depends upon access, stability and availability of food. Similarly, it is a source of food, trade and raw materials for industrial development. Likewise, it supports livelihoods of the majority rural dwellers in most developing countries. However, climate change impacts have adversely affected the sector in the region. This situation has subjected a large percentage of the Bhum and Lohara population to live in extreme poverty.
