dc.description.abstractThe present study was purposively carried out in Kolar district to analyse the impact of Koramangala-Challagatta valley project on livelihood security of farmers in Kolar district of Karnataka during 2021-22. The primary data was collected from 180 farmers comprising of 90 from Kolar taluk and 90 from Srinivaspura taluk. From each taluk, 30 big, 30 small and 30 marginal farmers were selected. The results revealed that farmers have been distributed among better (36.11 %), poor (35.55 %) and average (28.33 %) livelihood category. About 36.11 per cent of farmers had better perception (36.11 %) followed by average (32.22 %) and poor perception (31.67 %) categories. Average size of rainfed land holding has been decreased (2.00 to 0.44 acers) with increased irrigated land holding (2.10 to 3.46 acers) among the farmers of K.C. Valley project area. Average number of borewells has been increased from 118 to 182. Depth of water availability is 406.67 feet in the project area as compared to 1117 feet before the project implementation. Cropping intensity of farmers has been increased from 136.66 per cent to 167.72 per cent in the K.C. Valley project area. Variables like innovative proness, achievement motivation, risk orientation, decision making ability and economic motivation had significant relationship with perception one per cent level of significance. Variables like education, cosmopoliteness and management orientation had significant relationship with livelihood security at one per cent level of significance. Major constraints expressed by farmers were consumers hesitate to buy products where treated waste water was used for irrigation and cultural, religious and social objections in using treated water. Farmers suggested that education and outreach activities to be conducted for farmers about proper usage of treated water, food grown using treated water must be tested frequently and government should work in an integrated manner to avoid groundwater contamination.en_US
