Abstract

Village Dynamics Studies in South Asia (VDSA) datasets have been generated by ICRISAT’s resident field investigators who lived in the villages to periodically revisit the same households over the years (2009-2014). ICRISAT Economics Program initiated the Village Level Studies(VLS) in two villages of Karnataka. The aim was to understand the traditional methods of farming in the SAT region. This dataset contains details on General Endowment Schedule (GES) in these villages during the study period. GES for information on resource endowments (family composition, land, livestock, farm implements, residential building, consumer durables, stock inventory, debt and credit) of the household; role of gender in ownership and decision making; coping mechanisms adopted by the household during drought years.
