    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 41838) A, MADHUSHREE; V L, Madhu Prasad
    The study was conducted in two taluks of Tumkur district based on maximum area under dry land crops (ragi and groundnut). Three villages from each taluk and 20 farm women from each village were selected by using simple random technique thus making a total sample of 120. The study revealed that majority of the farm women expressed that husband alone take the decisions in ragi (51.86%) and groundnut (45.83%) cultivation, followed by decisions made jointly with husband or other family members 39.55 per cent & 30.00 per cent and only 2.98 per cent and 1.66 per cent of farm women take self decision respectively. With respect to achievement motivation majority of the farm women had medium level (47.50%) of achievement motivation. Out of 14 variables selected for the study age, education, farming experience, social participation, mass media exposure extension contact, extension participation, self confidence and self reliance had positive and significant relationship with decision making pattern. Whereas education, farming experience, social participation, extension contact, cosmopoliteness, risk orientation, self confidence and self reliance were positively and significantly related with achievement motivation. Hence, the policy makers and planners should bring out appropriate policies and development programmes tailored to farm women to enhance their decision making pattern and achievement motivation for higher productivity under dry land condition.
