Time 2.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.
Instructions Question No. 1 is compulsory.
Attempt any 2 questions from Q. Q. 3 and Q. 4.
Attempt any 2 questions from Q. Q. 6 and Q. 7.
1. Attempt the following case
In 2009, 1,500 farmers committed suicide in India, after being driven to debt by
crop failure most of them being the small and marginal acreage farmers. This
has become a trend, since the past few years. Reasons like failure of monsoons,
lack of irrigation facilities, depleting surface and ground water resources etc.,
have forced them towards acute poverty. Although the government has been
charting out various policies for the development of agriculture and irrigation,
the small farmer hardly enjoyed the benefits.
Ever since long time, Indian farmers have been the victims of vagaries of
nature and corruption in the system. India, being an agrarian nation, has almost
two-thirds of its work-force relying on farming for their livelihoods. However,
almost 70% of farming is rain-fed, due to poorly maintained irrigation systems
and lack of extension services like allocation of water, electricity, etc, These
conditions are threatening the conventional agricultural practices resulting in
them being neither economically for environmentally sustainable. Besides, the
Land Ceilling Acts, family disputes and Zamindari (land lord) system have led
to the fragmentation of land and in turn resulting in disguised unemployment,
low productivity of farm labour and poverty.
Identifying the link between water scarcity and poverty, Amitabha Sadangi,
started a non-governmental organisation, International Development Enterprise
India (IDEI) in 1984, focusing on the empowerment of rural farmers by
making simple and affordable farming equipment like the Treadle Pump. The
organization initiated various other programmes like Affordable Drip Irrigation
Technology Intervention Business Development Programme,
Integrating Poor in to Market Systems, Crop Post Harvest Programme, which
have gained acceptance among small farmers. The company over a period
