\nDrought-prone areas in India are typically characterized by low and erratic rainfall, leading to frequent water scarcity. The Kutch region in Gujarat is part of an arid and semi-arid belt in Western India that consistently experiences low rainfall and is particularly susceptible to drought conditions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nCompared to the other options, Kutch falls within a geographical area known for its desert\/semi-desert climate and inherent vulnerability to drought, making it a primary focus for drought management and mitigation planning.
\n<\/section>\n
