Assured water is one of the important inputs for good harvest which is sine qua non for Indian farmers and if water is assured then not only they will sustain but country can prosper, as we all know Gandhiji long ago mentioned, “India does not live in its towns but in its villages” (mkgandhi.org/gandhi on villages).In view of this, we have to focus on development of farmers as they have been providing us food by doing hard labour in all the seasons.Keeping in mind of these, inAhmednagar district of Maharashtra at Bahirwadi village ofAhmednagarblock by constructing awatershedin2001, many farmers as well as 400 acres of agricultural land have been benefitted. Of course rainfall (normal in the area is 500 millimetres) should be normal. Keeping in mind of this, a study was conducted in January 2018 about the crops grown, its production, farmers’ individual family income etc., and for this few farmers were contacted and data were collected from them.

Notes for Talk at Conference on Women and Taxation Organised by United Nations Association of Australia Melbourne 12-14 June 1981Last year, on behalf of the National Women’s Advisory Council, I undertook an exploratory survey to obtain information on the ways in which married couples arrange their financial affairs. Much of social policy is based on the assumption that husband and wife pool their income and that the welfare of an individual family member can be determined by reference to total family income irrespective of its source. This assumption is convenient to policy makers and social analysts which is a probable reason for its perpetuation. But this does not justify its continued use in the absence of supporting evidence. The survey was motivated by a concern that social policy decisions, which at present are made on largely intuitive grounds, should, rather, be based on facts about the extent to which families pooled income and shared in its benefits.

Perempuan dalam setiap bencana umumnya hanya dipandang sebagai korban yang pasif dan tidak melakukan apa-apa setelah bencana terjadi. Padahal peran perempuan dalam bencana dapat berpengaruh besar dalam percepatan upaya pemulihan pasca bencana. Dari hasil pengolahan data mentah dilapangan, strategi adaptasi yang dilakukan oleh perempuan Desa Pandansari pasca erupsi Gunungapi Kelud tahun 2014 mencakup adaptasi sosial dan ekonomi. Pada adaptasi sosial beberapa perempuan mengalokasikan seluruh anggota keluarga untuk bekerja, bentuk lain dari adaptasi ini adalah dengan adanya kegiatan kumpul warga yang rutin dilakukan seminggu sekali. Dan pada adaptasi ekonomi, beberapa perempuan  menerapkan diversifikasi pekerjaan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga sementara menunggu lahan pertanian dapat diolah kembali. Seluruh bentuk adaptasi tersebut merupakan upaya untuk memulihkan sumber-sumber penghidupan dengan cepat.Kata kunci: sumber penghidupan, berkelanjutan, perempuan, dan KeludABSTRACT Women in every disaster are generally only seen as passive victims and do nothing after the disaster. Whereas the role of women in disasters can have a major impact in the acceleration of post-disaster recovery efforts. From the results of raw data processing in the field, adaptation strategies implemented by Pandansari Village women after the eruption of Gunungapi Kelud in 2014 include social and economic adaptation.

This study was part of a larger analysis of the framework of sustainable rural livelihoods in the face of urban sprawl in peri-urban rural areas of Mali. Contrary to the existing literature, which has mostly focused on issues of land rights in Mali due to the fact of urbanization, this study analyzed the consequences of urbanization in the city of Ségou on the major sources of livelihoods for residents in the neighboring rural municipality of Sebougou. Three villages in the municipality of Sebougou were selected due to the fact of their proximity to the city of Ségou. We interviewed 120 randomly sampled family heads using a structured questionnaire. The respondents were owners of farmlands or people who had lost their land as a result of urbanization. We analyzed the data using multi-linear and logistic regression models. The results showed that age, occupation, land size, and level of education had significant positive impacts on the farmers’ annual family income, while family size and gender exerted negative effects. Low-yield lands and youth emigration increased the likelihood of farmers losing their lands to urbanization. Conversely, land size, yearly income, and age had negative predictive effects on agrarian land loss. The results highlight the need for land management authorities to implement policies to protect agricultural land.

Agricultural land in Kayangan Village is mostly dry land with relatively low productivity and diversification of food production, which affects the income and supply of food that is not diverse and nutritious that affects the nutritional status of all family members and threatens household food security. However, the average household has a fairly large yard, which if properly designed and managed, will be able to meet the family's own food and nutrition needs, also has the opportunity to increase household income. The potential of the plots in the village of Heaven has not been managed properly, due to the low awareness of the importance of their plots, lack of knowledge and skills regarding proper yard management techniques to meet food and nutrition needs and family income. To overcome these problems, innovation technology transfer has been carried out through the development of environmentally friendly horticultural crops in optimizing the use of the yard to meet the nutritional needs and family income. Counseling and training / demonstration plots have been carried out during June-December 2019. Community service activities are considered quite successful in terms of the enthusiasm and perseverance of the participants in participating in this mentoring activity. The results of the demonstration plot showed a significant increase both in crop productivity and plant diversity that can be cultivated on the plots. Ongoing assistance from all parties, especially the local government, is expected to sustainably develop yard use to increase food availability and fulfill family nutrition, increase income and household food security of dry land farmers.

Background: Physical illness is linked with an increased risk of suicide; however, evidence from China is limited. Aims: To assess the influence of physical illness on risk of suicide among rural residents of China, and to examine the differences in the characteristics of people completing suicide with physical illness from those without physical illness. Method: In all, 200 suicide cases and 200 control subjects, 1:1 pair-matched on sex and age, were included from 25 townships of three randomly selected counties in Shandong Province, China. One informant for each suicide or control subject was interviewed to collect data on the physical health condition and psychological and sociodemographic status. Results: The prevalence of physical illness in suicide cases (63.0%) was significantly higher than that in paired controls (41.0%; χ2 = 19.39, p < .001). Compared with suicide cases without physical illness, people who were physically ill and completed suicide were generally older, less educated, had lower family income, and reported a mental disorder less often. Physical illness denoted a significant risk factor for suicide with an associated odds ratio of 3.23 (95% CI: 1.85–5.62) after adjusted for important covariates. The elevated risk of suicide increased progressively with the number of comorbid illnesses. Cancer, stroke, and a group of illnesses comprising dementia, hemiplegia, and encephalatrophy had a particularly strong effect among the commonly reported diagnoses in this study population. Conclusion: Physical illness is an important risk factor for suicide in rural residents of China. Efforts for suicide prevention are needed and should be integrated with national strategies of health care in rural China.
