Description There are umpteen number of developmental programmes concentrating on poor.
However, at no single place, a list of these programmes offered by Government,
NGOs and other agencies are available. This study has the objective of documenting
and analysing the developmental programmes/schemes in vogue, benefits rcfeived,
difficulties faced in availing the benefits of developmental programmetnd the
transaction costs incurred to avail the benefit in the rural and peri-urba areas of
Bangalore metropolis surrounding Magadi. For this study, a sample of 0 farmers
from peri urban (Magadi town area) and another sample of 50 farmers from rural area
(Halasabele village Magadi) have been chosen, to have comparison between the
benefits of developmental programmes received by the farmers in peri-urban areas
with that of farmers of rural area. Magadi town is well connected with Bangalore
metropolis by a new asphalted road. Halasabele village is included in the sample as
the rural village located 20 kms away from Magadi town on the way to Kunigal, with
relatively low urban or peri-urban influence. A litmus test for the apparent difference
between peri-urban and rural area lies in the market value of land of Rs. 2 million
per acre in peri urban Magadi and Rs.O.S to 0.6 million per acre in rural area of
Halasabele, pointing to a difference of around 300 per cent. The sample farmers were
chosen to include 25 farmers with irrigation facility and 25 farmers without irrigation
facility with the hypothesis that irrigation confers higher benefits. It is also
hypothesised that the governance of developmental programmes is indicated by the
magnitude of transaction costs
