Dry farming areas are the areas which receives an annual rainfall of 750 mm or less than that and there is no irrigation facility for raising crops. Dry farming is the scientific management of soil and crops under dry lands without irrigation. In total 38 statements were framed in scale with review of literature, experts’ suggestion and the role & responsibilities prescribed by State Department of Agriculture, Karnataka to their staff. The edited statements in form of questionnaires were sent to 109 judges to rate the relevancy of statements with the help of online platform ‘Google Forms’. Out of 109, 21 completely filled questionnaires were received in the span of 3 months with many reminders through mail and phone calls. In total 20 statements were selected out of 38 which were having mean relevancy score more than 4.00 and relevanc...

As the outcome of the effect reduced cropping area, reduced rice production, reduced water supply for agricultural activities were witnessed in the district. To mitigate the effect of drought on farming various technology practices were recommended to farmers to adopt. Technology practices as a whole level of adoption was moderate to high only in medium-to-large farm holders of both the groups of respondents. However the level of adoption found same between the respondents who have participated in the extension activities against who haven't participated in the same. It was observed that the regression coefficient of education (B=.020**) participation in extension activities (B=.077*) found significant in irrigated respondents. Whereas cultivable farm holding (B =.047***) membership in the social organisation (B=.103**), participation in extension activities (B
=.171**) average gross annual family income of the respondents was found to be significant (B= -1.379E-006*) in rainfed respondents group. There is an urgency to analyse the efficiency of information dissemination system Based on the results
programmes have to be formulated. The effectiveness of agricultural training should be evaluated and it should be taken up by the external agencies for the effective implementation of the technologies.

Its catalytic role strengthens the farming business and augments the productivity of scares resources. In countries like India it plays a key role in sustainable development of the economy. Where, which is depending on agriculture. In India many of the credit policies and schemes implemented by the government and higher financial institutions like NABARD and Reserve Bank of India to ensure that the timely availability of credit facility to the farmers. Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme is also one among those. A study to measure the knowledge level and to know the opinion of farmers regarding KCC was conducted during the year 2015-16 in Dharwad district of Karnataka. A study revealed the following results those were among the beneficiaries of the scheme, around 50per cent respondents belonged to the middle age group. The 41.66per cent of them possessed small land holdings and 33.33per cent of respondents were semi-medium landholders, and of 60.83per cent of the total respondents had got the medium level of extension contact. A study found out that 60per cent of the respondents had moderate knowledge level. A study revealed that overall 85.00per cent respondents shown favourable opinion towards the scheme and among them, 60per cent of the participants said that scheme is highly beneficial. The only 29.16per cent participants said that it helped them to overcome the distress sale by providing loan on the warehouse. Among the total sample size, 90.83per cent of the revealed that they didn't find the usefulness of the insurance and 21.66per cent respondents faced problems in the KCC scheme because of the shorter repayment period.

Since a decade number of small and marginal farmers keep on increasing. Due to the fragmented holding and improper management practices in farming inadequate access to market making them agriculture more unviable. Same time increasing demand for the quality and fresh food products is providing the greater opportunities to the farmers. Farmers Producers Organisations is the great ray of hope to tackle these above mentioned two problems effectively. It plays a greater role to narrow down the relationship between Agriculture and Marketing. The farmers who were registered in Farmers Producers Organisation get a good support from both state and central government; technically as well as financially. This approach is very helpful to small and marginal farmers to develop themselves in the global agricultural and to take control over market effectively. However, majority of these located in rural areas and suffer from the problems like Inadequate Professional Management and Manpower, Poor start-up capital, lack of technically skilled man power, ineffective capacity building training
programmes. There is a need to find the solution and to need bring policy changes to handle this problem to empower our farmers to and Indian economy too.
