Book Description
This study aimed at designing economic crop planning consistent with natural and economic endowments, achieving resource use efficiency for Central Dry Zone (CDZ) of Karnataka. Field data were collected from 45 sample farmers each under Rainfed and Borewell irrigated conditions of CDZ of Karnataka. The extent of efficiency in resource use and allocation is reflected in the costs incurred and net returns realized by valuing inputs at market prices, economic prices and natural resource valuation. The cost of cultivation of crops indicated that, the net returns for borewell irrigated paddy were ₹ 34091/ha, ₹ 17278/ha, ₹ -26120/ha at market prices, economic prices and natural resource values, respectively. Thus, due to subsidies offered, the distortion of prices is to the tune of ₹ 16813/ha, while the distortion due to inclusion of GHGs (₹ 1899/ha) and inclusion of groundwater cost (₹ 41500/ha) is 43399/ha. The resource use efficiency of crops was estimated using Cobb- Douglas production function and results indicated that the ratio of MVP to MFC was differed from unity, in most of the crops, indicating scope for reallocation of expenditure among various resources from over used to under used resources. Economic Optimal Crop Plan for Sustainability in the region developed using linear programming technique indicated that, 40900 ha is to be allocated under borewell irrigated and 103673 ha for rainfed situation according to Economic pricing criteria. Total optimum area allocated would be 144574 ha which maximizes net returns at ₹ 73 crores for Tumakuru District in the CDZ of Karnataka.

Book Description
Indian Agriculture and its allied sectors are the major sources of livelihood for the majority of its population. One of the two in India's workforce depends on the primary sector for their livelihood in India, even today. Agriculture is highly labour intensive creating the jobs in rural India. The cost of cultivation data has revealed that labour accounts for 40% of the total variable cost of crop production. Hence Indian Agriculture is regarded as the backbone of India, but unfortunately the backbone is fractured and the Indian farmer who took the food deficit India to food secured India, thereby holding the Indian esteem and self-respect high is struggling. Despite seven decades of political independence and near to 7 decades of planning the Indian farmer still gambles with monsoons live on subsistence-level income, lack of farm infrastructure have to plead and cry for subsidies and loan waivers. The Economic Survey 2017-18 (2018) points out that agriculture is still vulnerable to vagaries of the weather as 73.2 million hectares area (52%) out of 141.4 million hectares of the net sown area is still dependent on rain. According to the World Bank, the all India percentage of net irrigated area to the percentage of total cropped area is even lower at 36.79% in 2013.
