The study, undertaken at the instance of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Davelopment (NABARD), is the result of a survey conducted in Beed and Osmanabad districts of Marathwada region in the State of Maharashtra. At the outset, it may be stated that the orientation of major part of the study has truned itself into one that required greter attention to parsistent drought situation affecting the project implementation more than the assessment of normal economic benefits. For, there has not been any appreciable degree of success achieved in the surveyed areas.
