Access to groundwater is inextricably linked with agriculture, rural livelihoods, and climate resilience. Yet, in many parts of India, groundwater tables are falling, with extraction rates exceeding that of recharge. There have been many attempts and interventions to manage groundwater, but there has been no systematic assessment yet of how well these have worked, and in what contexts and regions. This paper attempts such an exercise, highlighting the common lessons learned, and points to an agenda for further research....

We examine the influence of information access on seasonal paddy yields in 10 selected Indian states using decade-long (2009–2019) data from the Government of India's Kisan (farmers) call center (KCC) initiative. Based on 17 million farmers' queries at the KCC, we isolate two most frequent concerns—one related to pest pressure and the other related to weather predictions. Leveraging these farmers' queries and crop yield–related datasets at the district level, we assess the impacts of weather and paddy pest infestation information on seasonal paddy yields...
