Floods have been an annual feature for Maharashtra for as long as anyone can remember – but the intensity of the flooding has been increasing. A research paper published in the journal Nature in 2017 showed that the number of extreme rainfall events in India have tripled between 1950 and 2015, while there is an overall weakening of the monsoon circulation.

Natural calamities like floods, landslides occur every year in Maharashtra, in which thousands of people become homeless. In the time of natural calamities, the biggest problem in front of everyone is food, because the food at the time of disasters gets spoiled.
