abstract={Over the past few centuries, India has been adversely affected by droughts which have a negative impact on the growth of the country. In this study draught analysis of 32 districts of Rajasthan state is carried out for the time period 1951-2002. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are used to detect Meteorological Drought in the study area using Precipitation and potential evapotranspiration. For trend analysis, the well-known statistical method known as the ¡°Mann Kendal Test¡± is used. The result of most of the districts shows a negative trend while a very less number of districts shows a positive trend in drought. Baran district is showing a maximum increasing trend while the Hanumangarh district has a maximum decreasing trend.},
