Many studies are being done to analyse the impacts of displacement caused by development projects on the resettled communities. But the differential impacts of displacement on men and women have only been considered very recently. Gender has been missing in the impact assessments of large development projects like dams. This article, based on an ongoing research work, is an attempt in this direction to analyse some post resettlement impacts of the Sardar Sarovar Project on tribal communities from a gender lens. The first part of the article dwells upon the post resettlement changes in livelihood opportunities. The second part of the manuscript is a gender analysis showing the impacts of post resettlement transformations upon men and women at the new sites. We ultimately attempt to highlight the transformations in gender roles and gender relations due to displacement and resettlement by providing empirical evidence from the resettlement sites. The research has adopted qualitative methods in data collection. Data have been collected through household surveys, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with key informants.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127710964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies conducted mostly on high-value fruit crops have confirmed the various benefits of DMI. However, not many studies have brought out the economic and resource impacts of drip irrigation including its benefit–cost pattern using survey data in crops like okra (ladies’ fingers) which is an important vegetable crop in India. In this article, we have made an attempt to fill this gap by using farm survey data collected from a water scarce district of Tamil Nadu state. We found from this study that DMI can reduce about 15 per cent of cultivation cost, save about 47 per cent of water resources and electrical energy, and augment about 49 per cent of productivity of okra over the same crop cultivated under conventional flood method of irrigation (FMI). Farmers cultivating okra under DMI are also able to generate an additional farm business income of ₹72,711/acre over the non-drip adopters. The net present worth and benefit-cost ratio estimated using different discount rates corroborate that investment in drip irrigation is economically highly viable for okra crop cultivating farmers.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131230846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Probit and double-hurdle models are employed to analyse the data. Being young, number of oxen and distance to credit market are found to reduce the probability of being credit constrained. Age, number of oxen, family size and technology adoption are found to increase credit demand while land size, tropical livestock unit and distance to credit market have negative (unexpected) signs. In the double-hurdle model estimation while credit market participation, being literate, being young and livestock holdings are found to determine the probability of technology adoption positively having oxen, being credit constrained and far from input market affected probability of technology adoption negatively. In the last estimation, education, land size and livestock holdings turned out to affect intensity of adoption positively while number of oxen and distance to input market are found to reduce expenditure of farm technology.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116583131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an agrarian economy, land remains a key resource in national economic development. Consequently, youth access to agricultural land is crucial in harnessing their potential for increased agricultural production. This study examines youth access to agricultural land dimensions under the customary system in Ghana. Using Techiman area as a case study, the study employed multiple sampling techniques to select the study communities and the respondents. In all, 455 youth and 23 elder respondents were covered. The results revealed that the youth have limited access to land for agricultural purpose on permanent basis. Land access mechanisms which convey temporary and limited rights such as licence and rentals were more popular among the youth respondents. This undermines their ability to make long-term investments and participate in cash crop cultivation. The study recommends a targeted youth agricultural land policy by government that will leverage the potential of the youth for increased agricultural production in the country.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117108628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
