Women comprise about 43 per cent of the global agricultural labour force. Their participation in agriculture and rural economies, vary considerably between and within regions. Even within regions their participation varies based on land holding status of farm/household and the crop cultivated by them. The present investigation was undertaken to study the socio-personal characteristics and participation level of women involved in chilli cultivation. This study was conducted in Kundgol taluk of Dharwad district in Karnataka purposively as it is the highest chilli growing area. Five villages were selected randomly and from each village 30 farm women were selected making a sample of 150. Personal interview method was used to collect the data and suitable statistical tools were used for analyzing the data. The study revealed that majority if the respondents were growing ByadagiKaddi variety of chilli. The respondents were mainly between the ages of 36-50 with low level of education. They were from joint and medium sized families. Their average land holding was less than five acres with an annual family income of less than Rs. 1,32,000. The extension participation was low while social participation was high.The participation index for pre sowing and sowing operations was 62.69, for inter culture operations it was 61.63 and for harvesting and post harvesting operation it was 72.49. The overall index was 65.88 meaning that nearly 66 per cent of all activities are carried out by women, it being higher in post-harvest activities than other activities. A high participation implies that there is increasing feminization of agriculture. The programmes and policies of government often biased in favour of men should target farm women.Keywords

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
