The study on peoples’ participation in watershed development programmes in Rajasthan has revealed that a very low proportion of beneficiaries is contributing at different stages of the programme in terms of either labour or finances or both. The determinants of participation have been identified using Tobit regression. The institutional effectiveness has been found as the key factor towards guaranteeing involvement of people in the watershed programmes. The other factors positively related with peoples’ participation are training of farmers, age, and frequency of the visit of extension workers. A negative relationship has been found between participation and off-farm income. Therefore, efforts should be made for developing effective local institutions, capacity building through training of farmers and providing off-farm employment opportunities in the countryside itself for safeguarding the livelihoods of people in the rainfed areas. 000057747 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000057747 700__ $$aBadal, P.S. 000057747 700__ $$aKumar, Pramod 000057747 700__ $$aBisaria, Geeta 000057747 773__ $$q57$$o70$$tAgricultural Economics Research Review$$j19$$k01$$dJanuary-June 2006$$tAgricultural Economics Research Review 000057747 8564_ $$9dcb4edf3-7d5b-4b27-9ffd-05ccff5b114a$$s32433$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/57747/files/4.pdf 000057747 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/57747 000057747 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:57747$$pGLOBAL_SET 000057747 912__ $$nSubmitted by Praduman Kumar (aeraindia@gmail.com) on 2010-02-15T07:07:22Z No. of bitstreams: 1 4.pdf: 32433 bytes, checksum: 43e65238aba65a3b1c434437a03a9037 (MD5) 000057747 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2010-02-15T07:07:23Z (GMT).
