Description The study was conducted in purposively selected Shimoga district of
Karnataka during 2012-13.Out of seven taluks two taluks namely, Shimoga
and Bhadhravathi were selected based on maximum number of Pragathi
Bandhu SHGs formed by Shree Kshetra Dharmastala Rural Development
Project (SKDRDP) for Wasteland Development. From each taluk, three
villages were purposively selected based on maximum number of Pragathi
Bandhu SHGs. All the SHGs (36) in the selected villages and from each
SHG, three members were selected randomly thus making a total sample of
108. The data were collected through structured interview schedule and
analysed by using suitable statistical tools. The results revealed that cent
per cent of SHG members expressed encroachment of wastelands and
political interventions were the major issues to raise conflicts while carrying
out Wasteland Development activities. Great majority (94.4%) of the
respondents expressed that outsiders influence on decision making was the
major cause to raise conflicts. Majority (57.4%) of the respondents had
medium conflict resolution behaviour. With respect to item wise
distribution of Conflict Resolution Behaviour of SHG members, majority
expressed their agreement of ?to solve a problem together, accurate
information should be exchanged (67.1%) and to resolve issues in the best
possible way, all concerns should be brought in open? (67.1%).Further,
different styles adopted by the respondents to resolve conflicts were
collaboration (62.5%) followed by compromise (59.7%), competition (49.1%),
accommodation 38.3% and avoidance (24.8%). The variables like land
holding, social participation, mass media participation and programme
incentives had negative and significant relationship with Conflict Resolution
Behaviour of SHG members. Cent per cent of SHG members expressed
political influence as major problem in resolving conflicts. Majority (90.7%)
of the respondents suggested to create general awareness about the
essentiality of SHGs formation in Wasteland Development Project. Hence,
policy makers, administrators and extension personnel of development
agencies should frame appropriate policies, programmes and develop
meaningful strategies to educate the extension agents and target group to
resolve conflicts for effective implementation of projects.
