dc.description.abstract | DWCRA scheme was launched in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh during 1988-89. So far about 2003 groups of rural women were provided with revolving fund. The study was conducted during the year 1998-99 in Parvatipuram division of Vizianagaram district. Based on the criteria of maximum number of beneficiaries, 4 mandals and 16 villages from these four mandals were selected. P>om each selected village 10 beneficiaries were selected randomly thus the total sample size was 160. A majority of the women beneficiaries were having favourable opinion towards various aspects of DWCRA like general, procedural, financial and employment whereas, 66 per cent had unfavourable opinion towards marketing aspects under DWCRA and also about provision of material help. 70.63 per cent of the women beneficiaries had medium level of knowledge about various aspects of DWCRA. Nearly 26.25 per cent of the women beneficiaries had taken-up vegetable vending. Maximum income of Rs.8400/- was generated from tailoring by two women beneficiaries. A majority of the women beneficiaries were grouped under income level of Rs. 1001 to 2000 and 2001 to 3000 rupees. Regarding personal, socio-psychological and economic characteristics of the women beneficiaries 56.75 per cent belonged to young age group and 65 per cent of them were illiterate. Nearly 91.87 per cent of the women beneliciaries belonged to nuclear families and 76.87 per cent of them were landless. Only 36.25 per cent of women beneficiaries were members of Mahila Mandal. Three fourth (72.50, 75.00%) of the women beneficiaries possessed medium level of achievement motivation and self confidence. Education, family size, social participation, mass media exposure, self confidence and sources of information had positive and significant relationship with knowledge of women beneficiaries about DWCRA. Major problems encountered by the women beneficiaries were less loan amount, difficult to maintain group, marketing of produce. Common suggestions made by them were to increase the loan amount, single outlet for marketing of produce and to provide subsidy. | en_US |
