The present study was conducted to examine the economic impact of NFSM on pulses economy in the selected districts of Karnataka state. The study period was divided into Period-I (Pre NFSM) from 1998-99 to 2007-08, Period –II (Post NFSM) from 2008-09 to 2015-16 and Period-III (Overall period) from 1998-99 to 2015-16. Primary data for Pigeonpea and chickpea crops were collected from Kalaburagi and Vijayapur districts of Karnataka respectively. The results of the compound growth rate analysis showed that during Period-III both area and production of selected pulses exhibited significant positive growth. The sources of change in the variance of selected pulses production revealed that the change in residual and change in area variance contributed the major share towards destabilizing the production of Pigeonpea and chickpea respectively in the state. The results of the budgeting technique revealed that the profit per rupees was more in beneficiary farms as compared to non-beneficiary farms in the cultivation of both the selected pulses.

Rural women play a vital role in farm and home system. She contributes substantially in the physical aspect of farming, livestock management, post-harvest and allied activities. Women contribute 50-60% of labour in farm production in India. There is evidence to suggest that if agriculture were focused on women, outputs could increase by as much as 10-20%, the ecological balance could be restored, and food security of communities improved.

<p>Procedural effectiveness relates to the impact assessment; so, the objective of this study is to identify the procedural effectiveness indicators and develop a conceptual mapping of existing impact indicators in the field of International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA). We conducted a literature review and searched the websites of humanitarian assistance organizations. Documents were included if they focused on IHA procedural effectiveness or impact evaluations. Reviewers identified the eligible studies and extracted data. A conceptual framework was used to categorize the indicators of secured (protection, good health and food security) and avoided (illness, death and malnutrition) issues. 10 documents were included and categorized based on the framework. It was found that there is no agreed and unique methodology and indicators to assess the impact of humanitarian assistance projects. This study could be the step toward understanding of IHA procedural effectiveness indicators and also the findings can make a base line to start more research.</p>
