Droughts are temporary aberration from normal climatic conditions. In this paper we have highlighted the use of various indices that are currently used for monitoring vegetation canopy in India. Remote sensing applications are effective in assessing severity of agricultural drought. The Indian IRS-IC/D wide field sensor (WiFS) is a strong tool for regional drought assessment with its spatial resolution of 188m and weekly repeat coverage using AVHRR .The NDVI images of various months of Maharashtra throughout the year 2011 are analyzed in the paper also SPI map of India 2012&SPI map of Maharashtra are used for analysis, The data ranges from 2011-2013.Downloads
