India is an agriculture based country and livestock sector is an integral component for rural livelihoods. In India livestock production is largely in the hands of women constituting about 69 per cent of work force. Dairy occupation has been an age old practice because of its complementary nature with agriculture and the vegetarian food habits of most Indians. The study was conducted to know the gender participation and decision making pattern of farming families in dairy farming. The study was conducted in Dharwad, Belagavi, Bagalkote, Vijayapura, Gadag, Haveri and Uttar Kannada districts of Karnataka. Snowball sampling method was used to select the respondents who were engaged in crop + dairy enterprise. Eighty farming families were selected for the study. The study revealed that in regular activities like, processing of milk (88.80%), selling the milk (81.20%), milking (80.00%) and putting the waste in bin (67.50%) were dominated by women. Men dominated in the activities like, chaffing (72.50%) and fodder transportation (67.50%). Both men and women jointly participated in white washing of sheds (91.20%), preparation of concentrate (66.20%) and fodder harvesting and collection (53.80%). In health activities, more men were involved in vaccination, taking the calf for dehorning and breeding (ranging from 83-55 %). Activities like care of sick animals (88.80%) and care of new born (61.20%) were carried out jointly. In marketing, more men participated in selling the skin of dead animals (78.80%), purchasing of animals (70.00%). More women were involved in selling the milk (78.80%). In decision making pattern more men take decision about insurance of animals (75.00%), breeding of animals (73.80%), purchase of fodder (58.80%) and feeding of animals (47.50%). Most of the decisions like, pre and post-natal management (96.20%), purchase and sale of animals (85.00%), cattle shed management (81.20%), obtaining bank loans (72.50%) and fodder management (55.00%) were taken by both men and women.Keywords

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. The Public Distribution System is one of the poverty alleviation programmes in India. The basic aim of PDS is to provide essential commodities like rice, wheat, sugar, edible oil and kerosene at subsidized prices throughout the country. In our investigation we studied the problems faced by Anna bhagya scheme beneficiaries in Karnataka state. The study was carried out during 2018-19 in seven districts of Northern Karnataka namely Dharwad, Uttar Kannada, Bagalkot, Vijayapura, Haveri, Belagavi and Gadag. From each districts 20 beneficiaries were selected making the sample size of 140. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect the data and suitable statistical tools like frequency and percentages were used for analysis of the data. It was noticed from the study that, cent per cent of the beneficiaries never faced problems like that they should pay for some items and compulsory purchase of some items. It was also clear from the study that, 84.29 per cent of the beneficiaries never mentioned about the leakages of food grains and the weight of the food items.Keywords
