| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out in two districts of central dry zone in Karnataka state during 2014-15 to compare the livelihood status of irrigated and rainfed farmers. Data was collected from a sample of 90 farmers from irrigated area (Davanagere and Harihara taluks form Davanagere district) and other 90 farmers from rainfed area (Challakere and Molkalmuru taluks from Chitradurga disrtict) using pre-tested interview schedule through personal interview method. Standardized scales to measure livelihood status was developed and used in the study. The study indicated that 44.4 per cent of farmers had high level of livelihood status, followed by medium (37.8 %) and low level of livelihood status (17.8 %) in irrigated situation. In rainfed situation, 43.3 per cent of farmers had low level of livelihood status followed by 38.9 per cent had medium and 17.8 per cent had high level of livelihood status. The findings revealed that 40.0 per cent of the farmers took crop production, 20.0 per cent crop production with diary in irrigated situation and in rainfed situation 33.3 per cent of respondents practiced crop production with dairy & sheep rearing, 18.9 per cent crop production with sheep, 15.6 per cent crop production alone. High cost of inputs, lack of remunerative prices and high labour cost are major constraints faced by irrigated farmers and uncertainty of rainfall, lack of remunerative prices and inadequate irrigation facility are major constraints faced by rainfed farmers. Reducing the input cost and increase the support price are the major suggestions suggested by irrigated farmers. Ground water recharge programmes and linkage of different water bodies are the major suggestions suggested by rainfed farmers. | en_US |
