    Abstract By using systematically collected field survey data of 200 farmers and binary logistic regression, results of this study reveals that wheat farmers of Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh, India are well-aware of changing climate and adjusting their farm practices to enhance climate resilience capacity. Farmers use their indigenous knowledge coupled with extension services provided by the government to diversify their occupation and cropping pattern as adaptation strategies. The Binary logistic regression results show that information on climate, access to institutional credit and having crop insurance motivate farmers to improved irrigation facilities. Further, farmers perceive that increase in temperature, decline in rainfall and water tables jointly change cropping pattern from the high water-intensive crop (wheat) to low water-intensive crop (chickpea) as a climate adaptation strategy. The study suggests developing a common platform for government services for the region. Community participation and regular training programmes in the sample villages are benefiting farmers to channelize their indigenous knowledge and optimize local resources, which leads to sustainable farming.

    Abstract Objectives: We adopted the Sustainable Livelihood Security (SLS) approach to assess the living conditions of slum dwellers in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Keeping the urban poor at the centre, we attempted to bring out the multidimensional nature of poverty and explored various aspects of the livelihood of slum dwellers. Methods: We surveyed 900 households from both notified and non-notified slums of Lucknow city to construct the SLS index, keeping the social, economic, infrastructural, health, and micro-environmental aspects of slum dwellers in the background. We collected data based on the household approach of the UN and the neighbourhood approach of the Government of India and aggregated the weighted index values under various sub-components to construct a composite index. Results: The results suggested that the index values were low for both types of slum dwellers in Lucknow city specifically in the economic, infrastructural, and micro-environmental aspects. The results also showed that ‘non-notified slum dwellers’ were much more deficient in all the dimensions compared to their ‘notified’ counterparts. The livelihood condition of the marginalized households (backward castes and minorities) was especially precarious and vulnerable. Conclusion: The findings reveal the existence of a high level of informality of livelihood of the urban poor in terms of housing, employment, health, and other basic amenities, and demonstrate that their livelihood condition is characterized by a low assets base, and poor strategies to overcome exigencies and risks. Recommendations: This paper recommends enactment of an urban employment guarantee act, conducting of sabhas (meetings) at the ward level on a regular basis to promote awareness, and notification of non-notified slums to notified slums on regular basis for the overall development of slum dwellers.
