The Famines continued until independence in 1947 with the Bengal famines of 1943-44, which affected 3-4 Millions People. Drought is a climatic disorder characterized by deficit of moisture. The National Commission on Agriculture has defined and classified drought as meteorological drought, Hydrological drought and Agricultural drought.
