Description |
The present study is planned to compare the livelihood security status of agricultural labourers in different agricultural situations. Two hundred and ten respondents from Kolar, Chickballapur, Mandya, Mysore, Coorg and Chickamagalur districts constituted the sample size as these districts represented rainfed, irrigated and plantation situations, respectively. A scale to measure livelihood security was developed for the study. The major findings about livelihood security indicated that majority were in low level in rainfed situation (57.14%), medium level in irrigated situation (64.29%), high level in plantation situation (54.28%) and medium level in pooled case (39.52%). The F-test showed that there was a significant difference (F-value 21.86*) in livelihood security level among agricultural labourers in all the three situations and also in polled situation. In rainfed region social equitability ranks I (62.29%) among all dimensions of livelihood security. Similarly, ecological security was found to be foremost dimension of livelihood security in irrigated (81.91%), plantation (88.67%) and also in pooled situation (78.48%). The variables viz., caste, land holding, family size, dependency ratio, adjustability, determination in work situation, training received, self confidence, risk orientation, scientific orientation, achievement motivation and management orientation had significant relationship with livelihood security in all the three agricultural situations and also in pooled situation. The R2 value indicated that all the 29 independent variables had contributed to the tune of 83.70 per cent (rainfed), 89.50 per cent (irrigated), 82.30 per cent (plantation) and 81.40 per cent (pooled) of variation in livelihood security. In all the three agricultural situations and also in pooled situation dependency ratio and training received were the common discriminating variables. The uncertainty of rainfall and lack of veterinary facilities in the villages were the problems faced by the respondents. Veterinary facilities should be provided in the villages for secured livelihood of agricultural labourers. |
