Assessing The Role Of Government Initiatives In Improving Farmers Livelihood: An Empirical Study Of Jammu District

Abstract

The study highlights the importance of various Government initiatives in improving the quality of life of the farmers by increasing productivity. Despite of the best efforts of the administration agricultural productivity and quality of life for farmers has increased but is not contributing to overall development. For this an empirical study was conducted in rural villages of Jammu district by interviewing 300 respondents and applying various statistical tests like percentages, mean, standard deviation and ANOVA tests using SPSS software v 22 to assess the benefits of the efforts of the Government. The results show positive but uneven benefits contributing to lack of help from administration and lesser education.
