英文摘要	The magnitude and frequency of severe and extreme drought events continue to grow, instigating a grave risk to human wellbeing. Marathwada region of India is one of the most chronically drought affected region of India. The sequential drought events between the years 2012 to 2016 acutely impacted the natural as well as socio-economic resources of the region. This study attempts to assess the drought vulnerability of Marathwada region at sub-district level. An integrated drought vulnerability index has been developed by blending biophysical and socio-economic indicators of drought vulnerability. The analysis revealed that sub-districts like Shirur-Anantpal, Deoni, Shirur Kasar, Dharur, Biloli, Paranda, Mukhed, Khuldabad, Patoda, Hadgaon, Palam, Badnapur and Kaij, emerged as the very highly vulnerable to drought, representing 14.43% of geographical area and 10.96% of population of Marathwada while the sub-districts lying under the category of high drought vulnerability represented 39.15% of geographical area and 34.69% of population. Highlights for public administration, management and planning: The impacts of droughts are more acute in developing countries which are highly dependent on agriculture. Spatial assessment of drought vulnerability is one of the most significant tasks of public administration in the arid and semi-arid regions for developing the appropriate region-specific drought management strategies. An integrated drought vulnerability index has been prepared by taking into consideration both biophysical and socio-economic indicators for the comprehensive assessment of drought vulnerability.
