The present study attempts to analyze resource use pattern, cost and returns structure in major maize hybrids in Haveri district of Karnataka. The study was based on primary and secondary data. The required primary data was collected from sample farmers through personal interview method with the help of pre-tested and well structured schedule. A sample of 120 farmers from Haveri district was selected through multistage random sampling technique. The secondary data on area, production and productivity was collected from District Statistical Office for the period from 1998-99 to 2009-10. The annual growth rates for maize area and production were 3.41 per cent and 2.12 per cent and were significant at one and ten per cent level, respectively. The growth rate of maize yield was found to be negative (-1.25%) but not significant. It was observed that, the farmers growing NK-6240 were found to use slightly more quantity of most of the inputs compared to the farmers growing CP-818 and Sunny. Among the different operations the use of human labour was highest for harvesting, followed by sowing, hand weeding, threshing and spreading of FYM in all three hybrids. Per hectare cost of cultivation was slightly more in NK-6240 (Rs. 37,494) compared to CP-818 (Rs. 34,369) and Sunny (Rs. 36,120) with a respective benefit cost ratio of 1.88, 1.79 and 1.83.Keywords

The study was conducted to know the resource use efficiency and resource use pattern in Soybean cultivation in Dharwad district of Karnataka. In Dharwad district 2 villages were selected randomly such as, Kavalageri and Narendra. From each village, 15 respondents growing Soybean were selected thus making a total sample of 30. Multistage sampling procedure was followed for selection of 30 Soybean growing farmers. Production function techniques were used to analyze the data. To estimate the resources use efficiency Cobb-Douglas production function was employed and Allocative efficiency = MVP/MFC. In order to determine the efficiency of allocation of the resources or price efficiency. The analysis of input utilization clearly indicates that the labour utilization was more. With respect yield obtained in study area was 21.24 quintal of main product and 15.07 tones of by product. The regression co-efficient of fertilizer (0.27) and bullock labour (0.05) are significant hence, it indicating increase in the use of these resources over and above the present level lead to a significant increase in gross returns.Whereas, the resources in study area was over utilized but are still in the rational region of production except hence there is need of optimal use of resources.Keywords

Finance in agriculture is as important as other inputs being used in agricultural production. Realizing the importance of agricultural credit in fostering agricultural growth and development, the emphasis on the institutional framework for agricultural credit is being emphasized since the beginning of planned development era in India. The paper discusses the history and need of agricultural finance in India, sources and magnitude of agricultural finance and assesses its progress. The article is based on the secondary data compiled from diverse sources and analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. Finance is needed to farmers both for production and consumption (unproductive) purposes. The two major sources of finance in agriculture are institutional and non- institutional sources. Over the years, there has been a sharp decline in the percentage of agricultural credit financed by noninstitutionalized sources like money-lenders from 90.90 per cent to 21.90 per cent. The highest increase inloans issued was in the case of Scheduled Commercial Banks with CGR of 18.82 while the lowest was in the case of co-operatives with CGR of 13.34 per cent in case of short term credit. In case of long term credit, the highest loan outstanding was in the case of Scheduled Commercial Banks with CGR of 29.13 per cent while the lowest was in the case of co-operatives with CGR of 4.49 per cent. Imparting training to borrowers regarding procedural formalities of financial institutions could be helpful in increasing their access to institutional credit. The option of microfinance and Kisan Credit Card (KCC) should be adopted and streamlined to alleviate theplight of the marginal, small and tribal farmers. They should be linked effectively to the self-help groups (SHGs).Keywords

Financial inclusion is a process of ensuring access to financial services and to provide timely and adequate credit needed by vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low income groups a tan affordable cost. The paper highlights the basic features of financial inclusion, its approaches, issues, challenges and its need for socio-economic development of the society. Rural India presents a remarkable opportunity for bankers and financial institutions to seek their fortunes and bring prosperity to the aspiring poor through financial inclusion. But to achieve this, the government should provide a less perspective environment in which banks are free to pursue the innovations necessary to reach low income consumers and still make a profit. Financial service providers should learn more about the consumers and new business models to reach them. A holistic approach on the part of the banks in creating awareness about financial products, education and advice on money management, debt counselling, savings and affordable credit would be required. Moreover, there is a need of cost-effective manner of forging linkages with microfinance institutions and local communities. Technology can be a very valuable tool in providing access to banking products in remote areas.Therefore, financial inclusion has the potential and is a great step to alleviate poverty in India from its ischolar_mains.Keywords
