DOI:10.5958/0976-4666.2017.00066.3
Abstract:
The study was carried to analyse the influence of emergence of allied activities (AA) and non-farm activites (NFA) on agricultural transformation across the dryland and irrigated regions of Karnataka. The multi-stage random sampling technique was used to identify the respondents. Four districts namely Chitradurga, Kolar, Hassan and Mandya, corresponding to four different agroclimatic zones in Karnataka were used as the study area. Agricultural transformation index was developed using the Principal component Analysis for the study. This index was used as dependent variable for working out the multiple regression analysis to study the cause-effect relationship between agricultural transformation and the economic parameters associated with emergence of AA and NFA. The study showed that irrespective of the irrigation pattern existing, the dry land as well as the irrigated regions showed a positive agricultural transformation with the emergence of NFA.
