dc.description.abstractAn ex post facto research was conducted in Kerala to assess the livelihood security of dairy farmers affected by Kerala flood 2018. Based on secondary data, 180 flood affected dairy farmers from three districts namely, Thrissur, Idukki and Ernakulam were randomly selected as respondents. For qualitative studies, 24 respondents were selected by employing purposive sampling. The data were collected through personal interview method using a structured pretested interview schedule. Analyses of socio economic characters of the flood affected dairy farmers revealed that majority were old and were males, practiced agriculture as their main occupation and dairying as their secondary occupation. Majority were educated up to secondary school level, had medium sized family, owned less than 100 cents of agricultural land, medium sized herd, had more than ten years of dairying experience, earned low income from dairying and medium annual gross income. Majority of flood affected dairy farmers used television and newspaper in mass media and contacted veterinary surgeons in interpersonal source. More than half of the farmers were not exposed to training.Majority of the respondents possessed medium knowledge on disaster management. Just more than half of respondents had favourable attitude towards disaster management system. The livelihood security of flood-affected dairy farmers was determined to be moderate. Human and social capitals scored good while financial and physical capitals scored moderate and the natural capital scored poorly. Lack of institutional support during flood disaster, meagre compensation, poor maintenance of drainage structures, non availability of credible weather information and shortage of feed during flooding were major constraints faced. The respondents possessed higher level of adoption of flood coping mechanisms. The major constraint faced by the leaders of panchayat, was the inability of state and central governments to provide a holistic strategy for rescue and rehabilitation. The activities of NGO in disaster management were impaired by lack of clear laws and policies. The officials were plagued by lack of communication and training. Higher educational institutions were involved in providing material and technical assistance services to flood disaster victims.
