The study is a comprehensive research on how do the various climatic parameters affect the social and economic status of farmers. The study is based on the stratified random sampling technique. The effects of change of the climatic factors are studied on the fruit crops, vegetable crops and agricultural crops along with the effect on livestock. The aim of this study is to determine whether or not, climate has had a detrimental effect on the choice of crop, usage of pesticides, and various adaptation techniques followed by the farmers. There has been a reduction in the quantity of trees, grasses and crop residue available as fodder. The yield of fruit trees has been hampered in the last 20 years.
