Climate Change Reshapes How Indians Live and Where They Settle

Swift Summary

• Bundelkhand (spanning 13 districts across Uttar Pradesh and madhya Pradesh) faces recurrent droughts due to reduced rainfall and rising temperatures. The average temperature in the region may rise by 2-3.5ºC by 2100.

• Farmers in Bundelkhand suffer from crop failures, mounting debt, and are increasingly shifting to diamond mining or migrating to cities like Surat, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai for work. Migration alters the social fabric of villages.

• In contrast, Charpauli village in Bangladesh faces climate-induced riverbank erosion from monsoon flooding caused by swollen Jamuna River. Erosion displaced thousands of residents permanently over decades with recurring annual destruction.

• Vidarbha and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra-already dry due to their location in the rain shadow of Western Ghats-have experienced erratic rainfall patterns worsened by climate change. Temperature surpasses 50ºC during summers, forcing seasonal migration to sugarcane plantations in Western Maharashtra/Karnataka for livelihood.

• Migrant sugarcane workers face grim working conditions: inadequate wages tied with debt bondage agreements; poor housing (plastic-sheet tents); no access to basic sanitation facilities; worsening precarity; elderly workers are increasingly participating under duress.

• Migration universally lowers migrants’ living standards whether they relocate temporarily or permanently as informal laborers across industries such as construction or agriculture amidst unsanitary slum setups cities abroad bund-land families seek cheap but unequal settlements remotely minimal charitabilities alongside glad-cooked एकै common impersonal weakened hopeful mdistancings elsewhere…
