dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “A Study on Impact of Mutually Aided Cooperative Society (MACS) in Ananthapur District of Andhra Pradesh” was intended to examine various economic activities, factors influencing member participation, income distribution among members and identification of new business plans on MACS and non-MACS farms. Ananthapur district was purposively selected for present study as it is the leading district in Rayalaseema regarding mutually aided cooperative societies (MACS) where 3472 mutually aided cooperative societies exist. The list of the mandals along with corresponding number of MACS farmers was prepared. One mandal from the district with maximum number of MACS farmers was selected purposively. The list of 25 villages covered by the MACS in selected mandal was prepared and 10 villages were randomly selected for the present study. The selected villages were Bugnepalli, Cherllopalli, Chapatla, Kothapalli.G, Gangulaguntla, Gollapalli, Gandlaparthy, Pallabavi, Pallacharla, Marrur from Rapthadu mandal. All the MACS farmers in selected villages were listed out and 60 farmers were randomly selected. Another sample of 40 non-MACS farmers from the same villages were also randomly selected to serve as a control group. The information related to the present study was collected xiii using a well-defined and pre-tested schedule through personal interview method. Detailed information was collected and it pertained to the agricultural year 2016-2017. Tabular analysis, Garrett’s ranking technique and Gini ratio were employed to analyse the set objectives. The average size of the farm was 4.68 ha on MACS and 5.12 ha on non-MACS. The per hectare value of assets for MACS farms was Rs. 10,87,554 and the same for non-MACS farms was Rs. 11,65,816. Total human labour was 75.75 and 72.50 man days per hectare on groundnut MACS farms and control farms. On an average the total cost of cultivation per hectare of groundnut was Rs. 46,883 on MACS and Rs. 47,699 on non-MACS farms. The price per quintal was more on MACS farms with Rs. 4,450 compared to Rs. 3,950 on non-MACS farms. The gross income realized on MACS farms was slightly higher with Rs. 71,195 as against Rs. 70,697 on non-MACS farms. Net income too exhibited similar trend, with MACS recording Rs. 24,312 against Rs. 22,998 by non-MACS groundnut farms. Total human labour was 45.40 and 49.00 man days per hectare on redgram MACS farms and redgram control farms. The total cost of cultivation per hectare of redgram was Rs. 25,216 on MACS and Rs. 25,605 on non-MACS farms. The price per quintal was slightly more on MACS farms with Rs. 5,450 compared to Rs. 4,900 on non-MACS farms. In redgram the gross income realized on MACS farms was slightly higher with Rs. 34,264 as against Rs. 29,091 on non-MACS farms. Net income too exhibited similar trend, with MACS recording Rs. 9,048 against Rs. 3,486 by non-MACS farms. The factors influencing the member participation in MACS were identified and presented by using Garrett’s rank technique. The major factor that was reported by the selected members was subsidized seed from Accion Fraterna (A.F). Avoiding middlemen while disposing the produce in the MACS was the next major factor influencing member participation. The Gini coefficient ratios for the households of MACS and non-MACS were 0.451 and 0.465 respectively. The Gini coefficient value was relatively less for households of MACS members against the members of non-MACS. The relatively low Gini coefficient ratio indicates that there were relatively less imbalance in the distribution of income among the members of MACS over those in non-MACS.en_US
