Drought is becoming a major threat to rice farming across the globe owing to the depletion of water tables in rice‐growing belts. Drought affects rice plants at multiple stages, causing damage at morphological and physio‐biochemical levels, leading to severe losses that exceed losses from all other stresses. The amalgamation of conventional breeding methods with modern molecular biology tools and biometrical methods could help accelerate the genetic gain for drought tolerance in rice. Many drought‐tolerance traits with genetic determinants have been identified and exploited for tolerance rice variety breeding. The integration of genome‐wide association study and genomic selection tools with speed breeding shortened the breeding cycle and aided in rapid improvement of genetic gain. In this review, we emphasized the progress made through classical breeding as well as the limitations and usefulness of current genomic methods in improving drought tolerance. We briefly addressed methods for identifying genetic determinants for drought tolerance and deploying them through genomics‐assisted breeding programmes to develop high‐yielding drought‐tolerant rice cultivars.
