Alarms are ringing across the world as reports suggest there is a 90% chance of El Niño developing, with some models even warning of a possible Super El Niño if current trends continue. For India, this is not just a weather event. It could stress every part of an already fragile system, from agriculture and water supply to electricity, food prices, public health, and livelihoods. But this is not a moment for panic. It is a moment for preparation. The urgency of El Niño gives us a rare opportunity to look closely at our weakest points, strengthen our infrastructure, and build resilience not just for the months ahead, but for every climate shock India will face in the future.
