Description The present study was undertaken during the year 2012-13 in Upper Krishna Project
(UKP) area of Bagalkot district of Karnataka state. The Ex-post facto research design was
used for the study. In Bagalkot district, three Rehabilitation Centres (RC) were selected from
each of Bagalkot, Biligi and Hungund taluks. Further, from each Rehabilitation Centre 20
rehabilitant farmers were selected to form a sample of 180 by using random sampling
technique.
The scale was developed and standardized to measure the Livelihood Security of
rehabilitant farmers. Livelihood Security of the rehabilitant farmers was found to be 54.66
per cent. Among the components of Livelihood Security, physical capital (72.05%) and
financial capital (68.28%) performed better, Human capital (63.59%) and social capital
(55.24%) performed moderately and Natural capital performed poorly (48.77%).
An equal (around thirty) per cent of rehabilitant farmers were found in all three
categories (High, medium and low) of asset acquisition. Higher proportions of the rehabilitant
farmers (41.67% and 36.67%) were found in high asset acquisition category in case of
financial and physical capitals. Family size, extension contact, decision making pattern, risk
orientation and awareness about developmental interventions had highly positive and
significant relationship with the Livelihood Security of the rehabilitant farmers.
With regard to developmental interventions, cent per cent of the rehabilitant farmers
availed benefit with respect to construction of house (100%) and free electricity (100%). As
high as 90.56 per cent of the rehabilitant farmers availed benefit of Income Generating
Schemes (IGS) in case of training programmes. Only 13.89 per cent of the rehabilitant
farmers took the benefit of Government job quota. Extend free household electricity supply
(80.56%), extend loan waivers scheme to nationalized banks also (70.00%) and good quality
drinking water facilities (63.89%) were the major suggestions provided by rehabilitant
farmers to improve their Livelihood Security.
