  Sunil K Muttalageri,  Dr.R R Biradar

India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry, logging and fishing accounted for 17% of the GDP and employed 51% of the total workforce in 2012. As Indian economy has diversified and grown, agriculture's contribution to GDP has steadily declined from 1951 to 2011, yet it is still the largest employment source and a significant piece of the overall socio-economic development of India. Agriculture is a very integral part in the socio-economic fabric in influencing the deprived and the economically backward sections of the society. The support extended by the Government of India in providing the agricultural subsidies, in fact is a very significant support system to the farmers. The agricultural subsidy has revived the agricultural sector but the absolute contribution to the SC/ST farmers in comparison with the other sections is still to be explored and issues of social justice and equity be ensured. The present study considers subsidies direct subsidy and indirect subsidy in the districts of Bagalkot and Vijayapur. It throws light on the gaps in the existing disbursal system and the recommendations to better the present system.
