Shravasti has relatively sub tropical climate with high variation between summer and winter temperature. The average temperature is 30-43degree centigrade in summer and 6-18 43degree centigrade in winter. The districted devoid of mineral deposits. The average rainfall is 1300mm. most rainfall occurs in July 394 mm. Tarai Sandy Loam-high humidity and rainfall are prevalent. Rain fed crop generally grown in area, some portion of Sirsiya block (Land of KVK) has sallow land where rocks are found few fit blow the soil.Pearched aquifer are maim feature of this AES. Therefore shallow tube wells are not successful and deep tube well beyond the capacity of the individual farmer

Area is like ravine land which needs development through soil conservation work (biological as well as mechanical measures) Introduction of high yielding varieties of cereal, vegetable and fruit are needed to be emphasized. Dry land farming is critical and variety which may survive to water stress condition are needed to be introduced.
