Agricultural Problems of Farmers in Bhabhar Region of Kumaun Himalaya in Uttarakhand

Focusing on identifying primary financial constraints and understanding their socioeconomic status, this study examines the agricultural problems faced by farmers in the Bhabhar region of Kumaon. The study uses primary data collected through standardized questionnaires and intensive field surveys to assess variables such as land ownership patterns, credit availability, educational attainment and agricultural resource availability. The socio-economic analysis indicates that limited access to financial services, inadequate infrastructure and low educational attainment have a significant impact on farming practices and production. The financial constraints that farmers have to deal with include high input costs, irregular irrigation systems, unregulated markets and limited access to modern agricultural equipment. The findings show how urgently certain policy changes are needed to strengthen financial support, fund infrastructure and enhance agricultural extension services. Many problems need to be fixed to enhance the living standards and agricultural sustainability of farmers in the Bhabhar region of Kumaon.
