ABSTRACT: An attempt has been made to study both, the advantages and disadvantages, of climate change on the Indian agricultural sector with special emphasis on the marginalized farmer. Climate change in today’s world is a very real concept. All nations can already feel its impact in terms of unprecedented floods, droughts, melting of glaciers, extreme cold, and extremely hot temperatures, along with precipitation. This is going to have an adverse impact on future generations unless the world gets together and decides to work as one in reducing the impact of this universal phenomenon. This paper, in particular, tries to understand the impact of these changes on the Indian agricultural sector in India, and in particular, the marginalized farmer. The government has to make a concerted effort in research and development concerning seeds, water conservation, saving of scarce resources, and upliftment of income of the marginalized farmer to help him move out of poverty.
