Today agricultural sector has been witnessing drastic changes both at micro and macro levels. The present study area is also not an exception to this. The trend of the farmers has seen a tremendous change in the crop cultivation. This study throws light on, how far rural economic transformation has taken place at the grass-root level due to irrigation. To analyze the impact, Vijayapur district of North Karnataka is purposively chosen for our study as Upper Krishna Project (UKP), which was undertaken by the Government of Karnataka with the World Bank Assistance. To check the validity of the statement, Indi and Sindagi taluks of Vijayapur district of UKP under tail end programme are identified as thrust area of research over period of one year. Thus, during the study period the present study found that, there has been drastic impact on the agriculture sector due to impact of irrigation facility and developed cultivation norms.
