Abstract:
Introduction of agrarian reforms and introduction of
new technology increased dependence on casual labourers.
High labour absorption in the subsistence agriculture and
increased price of input resulted in high cost of cultivation.
Price of paddy did not rise correspondingly. As a result
subsistence economy's future is bleak. The purpose of the
_study is to examine these arguments and related issues with
the help of empirical evidence from Kuttanad.
The credit schemes are designed to help farmers to
earn higher incomes by larger output brought either by an
increase in area or by an improvement in yield rates or both.
It is difficult to isolate the impact of agricultural credit
on agricultural development. Because agricultural development
is the combined effect of all inputs. The specific
.criteria selected for analysing the impact of agricultural
icredit are how increased supply of credit would bring changes
‘in capital formation, agrarian relations, informal lending and
its cost and the changes in area, output, introduction of new
technology, income, savings and employment of farm households.
