dc.description.abstractndia, like many developing countries has been adoptingrural development programmes through various public policies, since independence. Inspite of many developmental programmes adopted, poverty is persistingly rampant. Integrated Rural Development Programme, a late comer in the series, could stand successfully almost two decades since iuSconception, in I978. Studies on IRDP from different regions of the country helped for better implementation from time to time and a tiny attempt was made in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh in the present study, with the following objectives: Objectives 1. To assess the impact of IRDP in terms of economic changes related to productive assets, income generation and employment opportunities.2. To ascertain the pattern of benefits received by the IRDP beneficiaries.3. To study the repayment pattern of beneficiaries.4. To study the opinion of beneficiaries and views of agencies involved in planning and implementation of the programme. (h METHODOLOGY Multi—stage random sampling technique was adopted. Atfirst stage, the district, then the mandals viz., Vuyyur,Thotlavallur and Machilipatnam and at third stage, two villages from each mandal and finally 12 beneficiaries from each village for the selected activities viz., milch animal, power sprayer, oil engine, were randomly selected yielding a sample size of 72. The data was collected by interviewing the beneficiaries with the help of pre—tested schedules which pertained to bOth pre-IRDP (1994—95) and post IRDP (1997—98) periods. The data was analysed with the help of following statistical tools: 1. Tabular analysis 2. Paired t—test and 3. Kruskal Wallis—H test Main findings of the study Increase in productive assets was found to be maximumfor milch animal activity (27.35%) and minimum for power sprayer (3.01%) in Vuyyur mandal. In Thotlavallur, increase in productive assets was the highest for oil engine (39.81%) activity and power sprayer contributed the least (1.18%). While in Machilipatnam mandal, milch animal contributed the highest (3.84%) and oil engine contributed the least (1.18%). Thus, differential impact of schemes on productive assetformation was observed mainly due to variation in cropping pattern and agro—climatic features. The highest additional income was obtained due to oilengine in all the three mandals with 25.70% in Vuyyur, 26.72%in Thotlavallur and 38.84% in Machilipatnam mandals whilepower sprayer contributed the least to the incremental income with 8.63% in Vuyyur, 6.09% in Thotlavallur and 9.06% in Machilipatnam. Contribution by milch animal was in between. It can be pointed out that, return from oil engine wasmore than power sprayer or milch animal. Oil engine activity contributed the highest (18.7%) foremployment generation and power sprayer (14.35%) contributed the least in Vuyyur mandal while power sprayer created the highest employment (13.96%) in Thotlavallur mandal and milch animal the least (6.70%). In Machilipatnam, oil engine contributed the highest (11.94%) and milch animal the least (10%). Thus differential impact was observed mainly due to variation in cropping pattern. In pattern of benefits received by the beneficiaries dueto IRDP was the highest for oil engine in all the categorieswith Rs.6000 as subsidy for scheduled caste and scheduled tribe when compared to weaker sections (Rs.4000) and others (Rs.3250). Benefits like insurance coverage for milch animal was not known to the beneficiaries and in most of the cases insurance was not recovered. Defaulters per cent was high (41.6%) against regulars(37.5%) in Vuyyur mandal, while in Thotlavallur mandal,regulars (62.5%) were high over defaulters (16.4%). In Machilipatnam, defaulters were high (45.8%). This was due -to co—operative society financing in Thotlavallur‘ where a sale—officer~ has the right to recover forcefully from the defaulters, unlike commercial banks. About 59.72% beneficiaries felt that VDOs were notregular in their visits. 61.1% were unaware of the benefitsfrom the programme and 45.8% failed to differentiate IRDP from other schemes. VDOs revealed that their work was influenced by local politicians and this resulted to select atleast 10% of undeserved. Bank officials stressed the need for loan recovery» through sale officer as followed by co—operative society. Officials expressed that the major set—back was lack of co—operation between the implementing agencies. On the whole, the Integrated Rural Development Programmein the study: area was found to be helpful to the beneficiaries.en_US
