India is the largest producer of cashew nut in the world accounting for 39.47 per cent of world cashew production during 2010. It has the largest area harvested under the raw cashew nuts in the world. The area of cashew had registered a growth rate of 2.46 per cent per annum, while the production increased by 4.51 per cent per annum. The yield recorded a compound growth rate of 1.79 per cent per annum during the study period (1978-79 to 2011-12). These growth rates were statistically significant at one per cent level of probability. The variation in area, production, and productivity of cashew was observed at 3.84 per cent, 6.29 per cent and 8.09 per cent, respectively. Results on variability in export revealed that in quantity terms it was 7.64 per cent, in value terms it was 12.23 per cent and in terms of unit value it worked out to be 14.23 per cent, which is the highest. Introduction of new High Yielding Varieties of cashew can improve the production and export of cashew kernel. It would be better to concentrate on exporting more of value added products to realize higher profit and it ensures a better price to producer by increasing competition in domestic market.Keywords

Agriculture is the back bone of Indian economy. It feeds 125 crore human population of India directly or through the generation of economic activities in the country, which is re instated in the resilience of Indian economy even in recent difficult days of global recession. In the 18 years period between 1996 to 2013 as many as 2,82,914 farmers committed suicide in India (1996 to 2013). Farmer suicides have decreased at annual compound growth rate of around 0.05 per cent per annum (1996 to 2013). The general suicides have increased at annual compound growth rate of around 2.19 per cent per annum. The total plan outlay towards agriculture and allied sectors has increased from I FYP (Rs. 354 crores) to II FYP (Rs. 50,924 crores) but the percentage of such an allocation to the total outlay has been decreased from nearly 14.90 per cent to 2.40 per cent over the years. A large number of Indian farmers are under debt trap due to variety of reasons. A major one among them, is the crop failure, leading to non-repayment of loans taken to raise that crop, thus, unable to get institutional credit for the succeeding seasons. The subsidy given towards agriculture has increased from Rs. 45,529 crores to Rs. 66,989 crores, but compared to other countries like Canada, Japan, USA the subsidy given to Indian farmers is far less. The gap between MSP and cost of cultivation in majority of the crops was minimum of 32 per cent except, Sugarcane, where the gap was the least (12 %). Effective collaborations, co-ordination, co-operations, commitment to the cause of the farmers' upliftment are needed to prevent farmers' suicide.Keywords

Health is one of the vital indicators of human development. Health standards in India have improved considerably since independence. The efforts of the government and other agencies engaged in expanding the health infrastructure have paid off well as evidenced by the improvement in some of our health indicators. Government has made deeper inroad into rural areas with focused schemes like the Yashaswini and even started a scheme for health insurance for the poor population. Creating bridge between farmers and their need to live a healthy life, Yashaswini scheme has brought quality healthcare to the farmers' doorstep in the state. A study was conducted to analyze the perceived usefulness of Yashaswini Health Scheme during 2012-13 in Belgaum district of Karnataka state. Purposive random sampling technique was used for the selection of four blocks i.e., Ramdurg, Savadatti, Gokak and Bailhongal. One hundred and twenty farmers from eight villages were selected from four taluks. The overall perceived usefulness level of the beneficiaries was high i.e., 44.16 per cent and 66.66 per cent, respectively. Most of them have undergone the direct benefits like eye operation, stomach ulcers, hernia, caesarean and uterus operation with 5,000 to 10,000 financial assistance.Keywords

Purposive random sampling technique was used for the selection of four blocks i.e., Ramdurg, Savadatti, Gokak and Bailhongal. One hundred and twenty farmers from eight villages were selected from four talukas. Cent per cent of respondents expressed that ‘the card is valid for only one year and needs to be renewed’ and ‘some of the clients live in more remote areas and have to travel long distance to reach the network of hospitals’. Cent per cent of respondents were expressed that ‘scheme should be for any farmers’ and ‘more number of hospitals should be included’ in the scheme.

One hundred and twenty farmers from eight villages were selected from four taluks. Age, education, family size, farming experience, mass media exposure and organizational participation showed significant relationship with awareness level. Whereas, family type, land holding annual income had no significant relation with awareness level of the beneficiaries. Age, education, family size, farming experience, organizational participation, showed positively significant relationship with perceived usefulness of the beneficiaries.

The present study was conducted during 2007-08 in Bellary and Bijapur districts of Karnataka state with 120 beneficiaries of KAWAD project as the sample to analyze the impact of income generating activities on rural livelihoods of Karnataka Watershed Development (KAWAD) project beneficiaries. The study revealed that, the change in overall capital acquisition index was 51.27 per cent before to 78.89 per cent after undertaking income generating activities and t-value calculated was 6.13, which was significant at 1 per cent level. There was non-significant relationship found between independent variables and overall asset improvements among beneficiaries.Keywords

The study was conducted in the randomly selected villages of Talukas of Raichur district during 2009-2010. Manvi and Sindhanur Talukas were purposively selected since these Talukas were having more number of paddy growers and occupied more area under paddy cultivation as compared to the other Talukas in the district and also based on the criteria of high diseases and pest infestation level. Majority of the farmers (88.57% and 62.85%) had knowledge about brown plant hoppers and ear head cutting caterpillar. Majority (77.14%) of the farmers knew about Phorate. About 46.85 per cent of the farmers adopted Furadan pesticide for control of stem borer. Only 17.14 and 21.71 per cent of them adopted proper concentration of Carbofuran and Dimethoate, whereas 58.28 per cent of the farmers had adopted proper concentration of Endosulfan 35 EC. High majority (96%) of the respondents possessed television sets. Vehicles and sprayers and dusters were possessed by 90.85 and 89.71 per cent of the respondents, respectively. Lack of knowledge about chemicals, lack of knowledge about to number of sprays and lack of knowledge with regard to technology application were the major constraints as expressed by 43.42, 62.85 and 83.42 per cent of respondents, respectively. High cost of chemicals and high cost of equipments were also the major constraints expressed by 76.00 and 51.42 per cent of respondents.Keywords

The study on technological gap in adoption of recommended practices of mango cultivation was conducted in Dharwad district of Karnataka during 2008-09. The study revealed that almost an equal per cent of the mango growers belonged to high (34.67%) and low (34.00%) overall technological gap categories with mean technological gap scores of 44.43 and 22.29, respectively. While, 31.33 per cent of them possessed medium overall technological gap with mean technological score of 32.92. Higher technological gap was observed regarding use of recommended chemical fertilizers with respect to time and doses, which was observed to be more than 90.00 per cent in all aspects.Keywords
