Abstract: Karnataka is a well-located geographical state which has been contributing in a good number by having a fourth place (2019-20) in GSDP to the country. The primary sector has been contributing less to others, not only in India but also in Karnataka. Many of the problems faced by the farmers in Karnataka and gradually, due to many causes, the small and marginal farmers have also increased. To uplift the weaker section of the society (SC/STs), Karnataka State Government launched a scheme that facilitates the bore well by providing supporting materials. Gradually the plan spread over to the communities, namely OBC, Minorities, and Vishwakarma. But the most benefit is required to the Schedule Caste small and marginal farmers (SMFs) with the rest of other communities. Hence, this article aims to describe the Ganga Kalyana Yojana operational mechanism with demand and supply side phenomenon to Schedule Caste Small and Marginal Farmers in Karnataka. As of documentation of the study, the supply is yet to be increased in few regions where the SC small and marginal farmers (SMFs) are very high to the total agricultural land holders.
