Abstract: | During the recent decade, with the growing recognition of the possibility of climate change and clear evidence of observed
changes in climate during 20th century, an increasing emphasis on food security and its regional impacts has come to forefront of the scientific community.
In recent times, the crop simulation models have been used extensively to study the impact of climate change on agricultural
production and food security. The output provided by the simulation models can be used to make appropriate crop management
decisions and to provide farmers and others with alternative options for their farming system. It is expected that in the
coming decades with the increased use of computers, the use of simulation models by farmers and professionals as well as policy
and decision makers will increase. In India, substantial work has been done in last decade aimed at understanding the nature
and magnitude of change in yield of different crops due to projected climate change. This paper presents an overview of the
state of the knowledge of possible effect of the climate variability and change on food grain production in India.
