Description The study was conducted to asses various issues of the private investment in
Northern Karnataka, North Eastern Dry Zone and Northern Dry Zone which have vast
tracts of dry lands in north Karnataka. Both primary and secondary data were used for
the study. The primary data was generated from 180 sample farmers comprising 72
small farmers, 72 medium farmers and 36 large farmers spread over 18 villages of 9
taluks in north Karnataka.
The results indicated that in North Eastern Dry Zone the investment on farm
buildings by large farmers was the highest (Rs.40,385) followed by medium
(Rs.22685) and small farmers (Rs.10356). Whereas the investment on tractor by the
large and medium farmers was Rs.156350 and Rs.15786 and on seed drill it was
Rs.1680 and Rs.1465 respectively.
The total investment on all the irrigation structures put together was
Rs.113200 Rs.15058 and Rs.154470 for small farmers medium farmer and large
farmers respectively. The proportion of small farmers and large farmers involved in
investment on Nala-bund was 37.50 and 62.50 per cent respectively. The money
invested on land leveling and bunding structures by small farmers, medium farmers
and large farmers was Rs.24304 and Rs.30930 and Rs.27880 respectively. In
Northern Dry zone the proportion of farmers involving in this activity increased with
increase in the size of holding. The amount invested in Nala bund on an average
worked out to Rs.22552. Only 8.91 per cent of small farmers 14.28 per cent of

on land leveling and bounding structure by small farmer, medium farmer and large
farmer in Northern Dry Zone was Rs.23898 Rs.21115 and Rs.25449 respectively.
The net present value (NPV) for Jasmine, citrus ber, pomegranate and sapota
gardens at 12 percent discount rate was Rs.1152431, Rs.1321653 Rs.743611.5,
Rs.475538.1, Rs.328200. The BCR was Rs.2.62 Rs.2.68 Rs.2.20 Rs.2.24 Rs.20.01.
The IRR was found to be 69 per cent 56 per cent, 55 per cent, 46.66, 61 per cent
