ThesisItem Open Access IMPACT STUDY ON MISSION KAKATIYA– RESTORATION OF TANKS IN TELANGANA STATE(PROFESSOR JAYASHANKAR TELANGANA STATE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2022-11-06) ARUNA, KARUKURI; SUDHA RANI, VThe present study entitled “Impact study on Mission Kakatiya – Restoration of tanks in Telangana state” to analyse the impact in terms of benefits accrued to the respondent farmers. Quasi-experimental research approach was followed for the study. The investigation was carried out in Karimnagar, Kamareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Siddipet and Badradri Kothhagudem districts of Telangana state. One mandal was selected from each district for the study. One village each selected randomly from each mandal separately for beneficiaries and non - beneficiaries. 30 farmers from each village were selected at random to make a sample of 180 respondents from beneficiary and non-beneficiary villages for the study. The findings revealed that majority of the beneficiary farmers belonged to medium aged group with primary school level of education, had small farm size, medium level of farming experience, extension contact, information seeking behavior, mass media exposure, socio politico participation, scientific orientation, economic orientation, empathy, achievement motivation, extent of participation in tank irrigation management, above 20 years of group age, above 70 members of group size, low level of group cohesiveness and team work. In respect of non-beneficiaries majority of them had medium age, primary school level of education, small farm size, medium level of farming experience, extension contact, information seeking behavior, mass media exposure, socio politico participation, scientific orientation, economic orientation, achievement motivation, extent of participation in tank irrigation management, low level of empathy, 15-20 years of group age, 35-70 members of group size, low level of group cohesiveness and team work. Findings with respect to attitude of farmers towards restoration and management of tanks revealed that majority of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers had favourable and neutral attitude respectively and significance difference was there at 5 per cent level of probability between beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers in attitude. Though majority of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers had medium level of knowledge on tank irrigation management and suitable cropping patterns and significance difference was there in knowledge at 5 per cent level of probability between beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers. Difference in Difference regression analysis indicated that Mission Kakatiya programme had a positive and significant impact on cropping intensity, cropping pattern, yield, productivity, income, employment generation, assets built up, social status, increase in ground water level and water holding capacity of soil. Mission Kakatya programme had no much impact on allied sectors, formation of farmer groups and organizations, afforestation and pollution. Major problems elicited by the beneficiary farmers in tank irrigation management were infestation of weeds, uneven distribution of tank silt, poor knowledge of farmers on new irrigation technologies and crop planning. Problems faced by non-beneficiary farmers were decreased water storage capacity of the tank, infestation of weeds, poor knowledge of tank users on crop planning and unavailability of water during critical stages of crop growth period. Majority of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers were having similar problems in group management i.e. lack of efficient leadership and organization of regular group meetings. The major problems faced by officials were lack of trainings in upgradation of knowledge and skills and transport facility. The major suggestions offered by beneficiary farmers to overcome the problems in tank irrigation management were the weeds should be removed frequently, officials should formulate the group for equal distribution of tank silt, all concerned departments should conduct the training programmes and method demonstrations on new irrigation technologies, crop planning, select the efficient leader and organize the group meetings twice in month. The major suggestions offered by non-beneficiary farmers were Department of Irrigation should implement the Mission Kakatiya programme, weeds should be removed frequently from the tank, conducting training programmes on crop planning and release the water based on crop growth stages instead of rotational basis of water The suggestions given by officials were provide training programmes and method demonstrations on new irrigation technologies and provision of transport facility. Suggested strategy for effective sustainable tank irrigation management was Department of Agriculture and Irrigation Department should create awareness cum training programmes on weed control, recommended cropping pattern and crop planning. KVKs and DAATTCs should involve in formation of specific tank water user groups as Kakatiya Tank Users Association/groups and organize the capacity building programmes for farmers on group dynamics and team management for effective tank irrigation managementThesisItem Open Access IMPACT STUDY ON MISSION KAKATIYA – RESTORATION OF TANKS IN TELANGANA STATE(PROFESSOR JAYASHANKAR TELANGANA STATE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2022-11-06) ARUNA, KARUKURI; SUDHA RANI, VThe present study entitled “Impact study on Mission Kakatiya – Restoration of tanks in Telangana state” to analyse the impact in terms of benefits accrued to the respondent farmers.
