Although the water supply and sanitation sector of the state of Karnataka in India has made significant progress in terms of area coverage and, to some extent, meeting consumption targets, two tasks, i.e. fulfilling the unmet backlog demand and meeting the water needs of future population, continue to remain as its major challenges. Based on an analysis of the data and information pertaining to the sector during 1999–2001, this paper aims to assess the financial capacity and reform commitment of the state to meet these sectoral challenges successfully. Towards this end, this paper (a) describes the current status and recent performance of the sector, (b) reviews the financial health of the sector including an estimation of the magnitude of budgetary subsidy, (c) discusses the causes for and consequences of subsidy growth; (d) identifies the issues and strategies for sectoral reforms including an evaluation of some recent reform initiatives and (e) concludes by highlighting the major implications for sectoral policy in the state in particular and India and other developing countries in general.

Magadi is a rapidly developing town in South India, with a current population of 25,000. 45% of the township area is agricultural land, and cultivated by marginal farmers with land holdings less than 1 ha. Recent plans for township development (2025) have threatened the livelihoods of farmers who have been living in this area for a long time. The community has been practising a leasing system for generations, which will soon die out, unless innovations with high returns for agriculture production are established. This study describes how the town municipal council, local partners and the community have attempted to combine city’s “Ecocity concept” to innovate agricultural production and marketing strategies to safeguard livelihoods, while greening and feeding the city, in a rapid development setting.
Ninety-four farmers formed neighbourhood groups to innovate their production and marketing systems. Of these, 87 seven (92%) were small and marginal farmers (range: 0.025 to 0.96 ha; average 0.31 ha) with an average income per annum of INR 49,870.45. Community action and support of the municipality and departments of agriculture and horticulture, served to strengthen their capacities, build group saving schemes, innovate production systems and marketing strategies, recycle natural resources (organic waste), and secure government grants which were not accessible to them before. Organizational strengthening and technical innovations increased the profit margin of a unit of crop.
This study describes a novel approach to enhance opportunities for agriculture production and marketing amidst town planning (eco-zoning), which involves a good mix of development, livelihood activities, and food security. The city authorities can utilise uncultivable land for development, allowing innovative farmers to benefit from urbanization, new markets and opportunities. This approach is a win-win situation to safeguard common interests and property and can help build resilient cities in the future.
