| dc.description.abstract | Depeasantisation is nothing but shifting towards different occupations from Agriculture. There are various reasons or factors which are directly or indirectly responsible fordepeasantisation among the farming communities. As Agriculture or Farming is the backbone of our country, shifting or leaving farming and move into another occupation by the cultivators is a serious concern. By keeping this in mind, here the researcher has taken Nayagarh District of Odisha purposively as the study area because Nayagarh is a peri urban city near Capital of Odisha, Bhubaneswar and the depeasantisation among the farmers in this area is increasing day by day. So, to analyze the factors or the root causes of their shifting, the researcher has chosen this district. In the current study, five blocks of Nayagarh district has been chosen randomly and from those five blocks, 28 villages have been chosen. A total of 280 respondents were chosen from the 28 villages who were Depeasantised farmers. The study was carried out by emphasizing on basic five objectives, i.e., the socio-economic status of the respondents, factors/causes of their depeasantisation, effect of depeasantisation on income level of respondents, social effect of depeasantisation on respondents and different occupations adopted by the respondents and the level of satisfaction obtained by the respondents due to the changing occupation. The data were collected from the respondents by using a pre structured questionnaire. After collection, the data were analyzed and calculated by using suitable statistical tools and the results were interpreted.From the study, it was found that Most of the respondents (72.94%) belonged to age group of 37 to 61 years. Majority of the farmers (36.43%) were having primary education. Most of the respondents (59.3%) were belonged to joint family followed by 25% were belonged to Nuclear family. Out of total farmers, majority of the respondents (67.80%) were not having home stead land and only 33.2% were having home stead land. Most of the farmers (66.4% were having cow and others were having different livestock possession. Majority of the respondents (70.4%) belonged to high farming experience (13-35) years. Most of the depeasantisedpersons (57.5%) in the study area expressed their high disagreement by telling high land rent is the reason of depeasantisation and other reasons included less production, issues regarding selling of the products etc. Mean value of the income increased from 38,910/- to 56,000/- in a year so it concluded that the income level increased after depeasantisation. Mean value of full employment status has also increased after depeasantisation (from 157 days/year to 267 days/year) and mean value of No employment status has decreased after depeasantisation (from 91 days/year to 24 days/year). Majority of the respondents (35%) moved towards full time labour work followed by other occupations. Most of the respondents (43.93%) were satisfiedafter depeasantisationfollowed by 20.7% were both satisfied and dissatisfied and 14.65% respondents were dissatisfied. | en_US |
