Monsoon rainfall and crop yield study

The brief

Everyone says the monsoon makes or breaks the harvest. Combine rainfall data with crop production by state and year, and measure how strongly rainfall (and its timing) affects yields for different crops, with confidence intervals. Good looks like: correctly joined data, correlation and regression with uncertainty, and clear charts per crop.

What you will build

1. Join rainfall and production data by state and year
2. Explore rainfall against yield per crop
3. Fit regressions and report effects with confidence intervals
4. Compare rain-fed and irrigated crops
5. Write a plain-language summary

Free, open data to build it with

• Rainfall in India ↗ Kaggle (IMD data)
• Crop production in India ↗ Kaggle (data.gov.in)

Check each dataset's licence before you publish your work. Your mentor gives your team its own version of the brief (data, scope or region), so every team's project is its own.
