  5. Cropping patterns changed substantially

  6. Changes in Cropping Pattern - Aurepalle From castor and cereals to cotton Source: Bantilan and Deb, 2011

  7. Changes in Cropping Pattern - Dokur Paddy major crop, castor and pulses new crops Sorghum declined Source: Bantilan and Deb, 2011

  8. Changes in Cropping Pattern - Kanzara Sorghum declined, groundnut not grown anymore Cotton dominated until 2006, Soybean replaced cotton Source: Bantilan and Deb, 2011

  9. Sources of Income Sources of per capita Real Income (Rs 2009/10 equivalent): 1975 -2010 Dokur (2001-2010) Dokur (1975-1984) Kanzara(2001-2010) Kanzara(1975-1984)

  11. Implications Access to irrigation – investments in borewells (Aurepalle) – Diversification in agriculture Crop productivity has increased with the adoption of improved technologies Diversification of income sources and cropping pattern. Time allocation patterns of women and men have changed -

  14. Inequality in Income Trends in per capita Income (Rs. 2009-10 equivalents) and inequality in income: 1975 -2010 Aurepalle (1975-2010) Dokur (1975-2010) Kalman(1975-2010) Shirapur (1975-2010) Kinkheda (1975-2010) Kanzara(1975-2010)

  19. Location, knowledge and information - key for decision making- Kanzara The focal points in this process are the early adopters and innovators, neighbouring farmers and input dealers Source: Padmaja, 2011

  20. Sources of information by gender, Aurepalle Source: Padmaja, 2011

  21. Drivers of Change access to irrigation facilities adoption of modern technology better road connectivity and market linkages educated workforce diversity in economic activities and livelihood opportunities

  22. Drivers of Change Main engine for development in different villages • Aurepalle: diversification of ag. and growth of non-farm activity • Dokur: migration income • Kanzara: intensification of agriculture and technology adoption • Kinkheda: increase in farm productivity • Shirapur: diversification of crop production and economic activities (including industries) • Kalman: diversification of farm and non-farm activities • Amongst these villages, development in Kinkheda was relatively less due to lack of social capital and collective action.
