Note Bangalore (U) is not included in the construction of vulnerability index. This is due to the fact
that Bangalore (U) is the capital city of Karnataka and since last one decade agricultural activities
have been reduced rapidly. It was observed that in some districts of Western Ghats region,
agricultural indicators are performing very poor and also affecting index values of other districts
while constructing vulnerability index. Therefore, we consider Bangalore (U), Uttara Kannada,
Dakshin Kannada and Udupi as outlier districts and excluded from agricultural vulnerability index
analysis
Composite Index = E1 * fact1 + E2 * fact2 + E3 * fact3/E1 + E2 + E3
Weight 1 = E1/E1 + E2 + E3, Weight 2 = E2/E1 + E2 + E3, Weight 3 = E3/E1 + E2 + E3
Weight for Factor 1 = 0.434059, Weight for Factor 2 = 0.310099 and Weight for Factor
3 = 0.255842
