• Drought is one of the significant threats to the sustainable development of India. The Karnataka state's Bidar district often experiences drought because of inadequate rainfall and significant rainfall variation within its geographical area. Hence Bidar district is considered one of the drought-prone districts in the state, and hence there is a need to take up the drought mitigation measures. The primary stage in the development of drought mitigation measures is drought evaluation. In the present study, the meteorological drought assessment is carried out by taking percentage of departure for five rain gauge stations of Bidar district, namely Aurad, Bidar, Bhalki, Basavakalyan, and Humnabad, using 35 years historical data (1985–2019). This study reveals that percentage of departure is the most appropriate drought indices in portraying drought in the study area. The rainfall analysis is carried out to know the rainfall distribution. Also, rainfall variation maps are developed for annual and seasonal mean rainfall in the ArcGIS platform.
