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. |
