Livelihood assessment was done for cassava and paddy farmers of Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli
districts of Tamil Nadu. A sample of 60 cassava and 60 paddy growers were selected using snow
ball sampling technique and data were collected using a well-structured interview schedule
which was supplemented through focus group discussions. Index was worked out for all the
capitals for assessing the livelihood of farmers. Of the five livelihood capitals, the index for
physical and natural capital was higher followed by the social, financial and human index. The
overall rural sustainable livelihood index for paddy farmers was 62 which was higher than the
cassava farmers (52). Significant differences were observed between the paddy and cassava
farmers in farming experience, farm size, annual income, training undergone and family labour
involvement. Financial support may be provided through the banks to improve the financial
capital of the farmers. Cassava based farming system need to be promoted for sustainable
livelihood improvement of farming community.
