determining the vulnerability of districts. The livelihood vulnerability index analysis suggests Yadgir, Chitradurg, Raichur, Chamrajnagar and Chikkaballapura are
the most vulnerable districts in Karnataka. The livelihood index depicts indicators
like per capita income, population density, percentage of literacy rate and livestock
units/lakh population, which are the major drivers and contribute to the overall
livelihood vulnerability of districts.
