A Descriptive Analysis of Baseline Study in Haveri, Karnataka Mahila Samakhya: A descriptive analysis of a baseline study in Haveri, Karnataka Final Draft1 Centre for Budget and Policy Studies, Bengaluru, India February 2018 1This report is part of a study to understand the effect of the Mahila Samakhya programme on the economic empowerment of rural women in India. The study was conducted in two states - Karnataka and Bihar. Through the use of mixed methods, the overall study sought to understand the definition of women’s empowerment and the dynamics and the processes of change, in addition to documenting and reviewing the programme at various levels. The study is funded by the International Development Research Centre, Canada, under the GrOW project. The Institute for Financial Management and Research (IFMR), Chennai conducted the survey for CBPS. This report is prepared by CBPS’ GrOW research team based on an analysis undertaken by CBPS. Executive summary Studying women’s economic empowerment engages primarily with questions of economic security, social justice and agency. These three characteristics of economic empowerment function within a certain set of social and economic rules, norms, and identities of social groups. Therefore, it becomes important to study economic empowerment in the larger context of women’s emancipation and equality. In order to study this broader definition of economic empowerment, we examined Mahila Samakhya (MS) - a women’s empowerment programme in India- that has been using collective action and education as key factors to empower women in rural areas. MS was designed as an empowering and learning process where poor and marginalised women come together into collectives to question, analyse, gain new information and knowledge and take informed decisions and actions. The expected outcome of this process was the recognition of women’s equal social and economic role in the development process, the realisation of their rights and the creation of a more gender-just environment. To understand MS’ role in enhancing women’s empowerment, we conceptualised a research study that focused on understanding three central and interconnected themes: (1) the mechanisms that lead to long-term sustainable economic empowerment, (2) the barriers to economic empowerment of women, and (3) probable interventions that can address these barriers. We designed a mixed-methods framework to answer the research questions. The quantitative method was a randomised-control trial (RCT) experiment conducted in Karnataka, the baseline results of which are presented in this report. The qualitative methods employed came in the form of an embedded ethnography that followed the unfolding of the MS process closely in the field. The quantitative baseline was able to capture the basic demographic profiles of the women, household assets, savings, debt and loan behaviour and history, details related to employment and education and self-efficacy. The qualitative aspects of the experiment elicited the mechanisms and processes of the changes through the course of our study. Our overall analysis of the data from this study in Karnataka showed us a few interesting trends. Nearly half of the women are likely to be employed or have savings. Most women, when employed, work as agricultural labour for other employers, which we see as a major reason for the compression of time and the inability to engage fully in the empowerment activities. Independent decision-making is low with almost half of the women not taking part in decisions related to their own employment and mobility. The awareness levels of women are also low and there are several indications of underage marriages of children. Promoting education and building awareness around the postponing the age of marriage are important areas of MS work and will continue to be important for future interventions. The research also identified areas in which MS can re-structure and re-think a few of its strategies, especially given the proliferation of a wide network of private microfinance enterprises. Our ethnographic work strongly suggests that the proliferation of microfinance groups has major implications for the formation and the nature of the sanghas and these have to be taken into account while designing future interventions. Financial and programmatic support for the organizational processes also emerged as a necessary step in creating long-term and sustainable social impact. We find evidence that because of the strong knowledge base of MS in the form of individuals who have imbibed the philosophy, mores, and cultures and belief systems of empowerment, MS can truly influence changes at the local level, and can influence the economic empowerment of women in rural areas.

CS KOPPAL KARNATAKA:Rev0 : Page 1 WATER SUPPLY Geographically, Koppal is a stretch of rocky terrain on one side and acres of dry land on the other hence water storage was always a problem & water lean crops like Jowar, Ground-nuts etc were grown. But now, after the Thunga-Bhadra river waters from the neighbouring town of Munirabad (20kms away) have been dammed up with a huge Dam - i.e. TungaBhadra dam; water availability is not a problem - indeed high-tech irrigational Farming (pomegranates, grapes, figs, etc) are being now cultivated by gravity irrigation & Koppal district is the best seed production center in the country. But despite water availability in the dam; this also poses problems for Lifing water via pumpsets - the depth of column pipes is almost 30m & 24m water level variation (between Monsoon & Summer) means very robust pumps are required...!

    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Role of Haveri District Leaders in the National Movement – A case study * Mamata Sawakar, Asst Professor, Dept of Political Science, Govt First Grade College,Ranebennur **Dr.Prasannakumar.K, Asst Professor, Dept of Political Science, Sahyadri Arts & Commerce College, Shimoga. Abstract Haveri district is exactly in the center of Karnataka with equal distance from Bidar in the far north to Kollegal in the far south. It is also known as the gateway district to the northern districts of Karnataka. Haveri district has a very rich culture and tradition. The district is proud to be the birth place of Santa Shishunala Sharif, great saint Kanakadasaru, Sarvagnya, Hanagal Kumara Shivayogigalu, Wagish Panditaru, Writer Galaganatharu, Ganayogi Panchakshari Gavayigalu, Gnyana Peetha Awardee Dr.V.K.Gokak and many more. The freedom fighter Mailara Mahadevappa, who resisted British rule, is from Motebennur in Haveri District. Another freedom fighter Gudleppa Hallikere a native of Hosaritti is also from this district. He started a residential school Gandhi Grameen Gurukul in Hosaritti. During the Quit India Movement, Gandhiji gave the clarion call ‘Do or die’. A great movement to oust the British was unleashed. Mahadevappa lead the movement of South division of Dharwad. He started Kara Nirakarane i.e. refusal to pay land revenue movement. He encouraged farmers not to pay land revenue to the Government.

  • Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage
    Sustaining Landscapes of Cultural Heritage: The Case of Hampi, India Final Report to The Global Heritage Fund Produced by Morgan Campbell 2012 Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage This report is the result of the Global Heritage Fund’s 2011 Preservation Fellowship Program. Research was undertaken by Morgan Campbell, a PhD student of Urban Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, during the summer of 2012. Global Heritage Fund Morgan Campbell 625 Emerson Street 200 [email protected] Palo Alto, CA 94301 www.globalheritagefund.org Sustaining Landscapes of Heritage ii Dedication I am incredibly grateful to numerous people for a variety of reasons. My time in Hampi during the summer of 2012 was one of the most significant experiences in my life. First, I dedicate this work to the Global Heritage Fund for providing me with the support to pursue questions of participatory planning in Hampi’s World Heritage Area. I thank James Hooper, whose earlier research in Hampi provided me with a good foundation and Dan Thompson who was incredibly understanding and supportive. Second, I’m deeply indebted to Shama Pawar of The Kishkindra Trust in Anegundi. Easily one of the most dynamic people I’ve ever met, without her assistance—which came in the form of conversations, tangible resources, and informal mentoring—I would have never been able to undergo this research project. It was because of Shama that I was able to experience and learn from Hampi’s living heritage. This report is about people, people who live in a heritage landscape. The residents of Hampi’s World Heritage Area are spread across time and space, so that when I say residents, I am referring to those living in the present and those who have lived in the past.
