| dc.description.abstract | Agriculture in India has to be content with notoriously capricious rainfall. Irrigation thus, ,forms the datum line for sustained and successful agriculture .The place of irrigation in India economy both as critical input as well as insurance against risk and uncertainty has been fully recognized. Minor irrigation mainly includes wells tube tanks pans etc .Among these well are the chiefits can be desired in the earliest possible time. Hence the important of well as a source of irrigation in rural setting of Jharkhand cannot be over emphasized. The JAL-DHARA YOJNA was started in 1988-89 in different of Jharkhand with the main objectives to increase productivity of land income and employment of the tribal farmers. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was undertaken to study the Economics benefits of JAL-DHARA YOJNA in Chanho block of Ranchi district in respect to three categories of tribal farmers (marginal, small, and medium farmers ) who were benefited from JAL-DHARA YOJNA considered as beneficiary farmers and those tribal farmers who were not benefited considered as non –beneficiary farmers. Four village namly Badri Bacchow, Saraitoli and Betalangi were selected randomly in Chanho Block. Forty beneficiaries farmers (marginal15, small15, and medium10) farmers Forty non beneficiaries farmers (marginal15, small15, and medium10) were selected randomly from villages. The data were collected by survey method for the cropping year 1999-2000. The study revealed that area under food crops was considerably high on non – beneficiary’s farms than that of beneficiary farms, while area under vegetable crops was much on beneficiary farms than that of non beneficiary farms. The higher cropping intensity was observed on beneficiary farms in comparison to non beneficiary farms. The analysis further revealed that investment per farms was much high on beneficiary farms than that of non –beneficiary farm. The total value of food grain production and vegetable production was much high in all beneficiary farms than the counterpart of non- beneficiary farms. It was further observed that cost of cultivation of paddy, marua +urad, and maize + arhar was observed to be high in all beneficiary farms than the counterpart of non- beneficiary farms. The cost of production per quintal of paddy was less on beneficiary farms than non –beneficiary farms while cost of production of maize + arhar and marua +urad was less on non – beneficiary farms as compared to beneficiary farms. The study further revealed that gross income per hectare of cereals and vegetable crops was high on beneficiary farms as compared to non-beneficiary farms. In spite of having higher yield per hectare on beneficiary farms net return per hectare of some cereals crops was observed to be high on non beneficiary farms. This was mainly due to less amount of cost of cultivation per hectare. The net return of vegetable crops was high on beneficiary farmer in respect to non beneficiary farms. The per farm human and bullock labour employment days was observed to be high on beneficiary farms in all categories than the counterparts of non- beneficiary farms. The farm efficiency analysis revealed that beneficiary farms were observed to be more efficient than non- beneficiary farms. The cropped area was 14.03 per cent higher, food grain production 50.80 percent vegetable production 3.71 per cent and cropping intensity 29.25 per cent higher on beneficiary farms in respect to non-beneficiary farms. It was also observed that cropped area per man was 14.03 per cent higher, labour worked days per year36.13 per cent more and return per labour days was 22 per cent higher on beneficiary farms over non- beneficiary farms. It can be concluded from the study that JAL-DHARA YOJNA has changed cropping pattern and increased cropping intensity of the beneficiary farmers. The resultant increased in cropping intensity has strongly increased income and employment of the beneficiary farmers in the study area. | |
