Abstract

In an agrarian-based economy like India, any programme launched to tackle the poverty of the downtrodden in rural areas occupies a more significant role. Otherwise, it can jeopardise all the developmental activities and nullify the gains achieved so far. The study found that a few big farmers enjoy the benefits of irrigated land, denying the fruits of many small and marginal farmers. The study has revealed that most big and medium farmers could get Rs. 4,000 per quintal of cotton output. The use of modern resources had a more significant influence on the output of cotton crops, as these districts were endowed with numerous resources to raise cotton crops. These districts are also known as the cotton bowl of Telangana State.

Further, implementing Government programmes and privatisation has not only led to a depletion of resources but also deprived the poor peasants of getting good returns. Under this paradoxical situation, rural areas have, of late, attracted the attention of researchers. The study observed that the top five ranked marketing problems in Adilabad district were price fluctuations, non-availability of storage facilities, high cost of packing material, transport costs, and commission charges, and in Karimnagar district, Fluctuations in price, improper methods of sale, the role of market intermediaries, unauthorised deductions, and a lack of market information. The present study has been undertaken in selected rural areas of Telangana.
