Climate change is the global phenomenon of climate transformation characterized by the changes in the usual climate of the planet regarding temperature, rainfall and wind) that are especially caused by human activities. Various detrimental effects have been recorded due to changes in weather patterns. The research identifies the constraints experienced by the chickpea growers for adaptation to climate change and obtain the suggestions from them to minimize the constraints. The study reveals that (99.17%) of chickpea growers expressed lack of climate resilient chickpea varieties as the major constraint followed by the lack of technical know-how on climate change (95.83%) and lack of training based on climate change (90.00%). The data pertaining on obtains the suggestions from chickpea growers to minimize the constraints depicted on table show that (96.67%) climate-resilient chickpea varieties should be provided to the chickpea growers followed by improving the knowledge level of farmers through various communication networks (93.33%).
