Abstract:
Tharparkar is an arid zone in Sindh province that has been severely impacted by drought and climate change. These changes endanger the lives and livelihoods of the neighboring population. The goal of this study is to look into Tharparkar's social and economic situation. This study included both primary and secondary data. A questionnaire was the primary data collection technique. The study's findings revealed that the drought had a socioeconomic impact on people. Agriculture output has declined, and cultivated regions have suffered. Animals are malnourished, and many have died as a result and Long distances to reach health providers/facilities (the average distance traveled by Tharparkar residents to reach a health facility is 20.8 kilometers), expensive services, a lack of/absence of transportation, and inadequate road infrastructure are all barriers to accessing health providers/facilities.
