Abstract
This study examined how agricultural subsidies
affect the economic and social well-being of irrigated land (Bagayat) and dry
land (Jirayat) farmers in Jalgaon, Maharashtra. A structured questionnaire was
distributed to 110 farmers (56 irrigated and 54 dry landholders) to examine
their perceptions across many aspects using a 7-point Likert scale. To identify
significant differences in responses, the analysis used independent samples
t-tests. The findings show that irrigated land farmers benefit much more from
subsidies in terms of lower cultivation costs, higher farm revenue, increased
crop output, and a higher standard of living. However, there were no
substantial variations in debt reduction, input investment, future planning
confidence, social security, access to education and healthcare, or migration
trends. These findings show the disparity in subsidy effects among farmer
groups, implying the need for more targeted subsidy programs to better help dry
land farmers.
