The district is one among the 29 districts of Karnataka State. It is located in the Northern part of the state and lies between North latitude 17 10 and 17 45 and between east longitude 76 10 and 77 45 The Distrrict is a biggest district in the state covering 8.49% of the area and 5.9 present of population of the state. It is bounded on the west by Bijapur district of Karnataka and Sholapur district of Maharashtra, on the west by Bijapur district of Andhra Pradesh, on the north by Bidar district of and Osmanabad district of Maharashtra and on the south by Richur district of Karnataka. They are Afzalpur, Aland, Chincholli, Chittapur, Gulbarga, Jewargi, Sedam, Shahapur, Shorapur and Yadgir.

A Brief History

The District was under the rule of Nijam s of Hyderabad before independence. The district has a rich background of knowledge and culture. The existence of university at Nagai in Chitapur, Vignaneeshwaras Mitakshara, Nrupatungas Kavirajmarg and the religious and social revolution led by Shivsharanas and the Sufi saint Banda Nawaz are all evidence of it. However, due to erratic rainfall and continuous occurrence of droughts in the 19th century the life of the people was never smooth and secure. Further during the Nizams period, the district could not develop due to the negligence and inefficient administration. The distance was also a factor contributing to it. Thus it was one of the most backward districts when it joined the old Mysore State (Fact Finding Committee 1954). This position has not changed even after five decades.

Socio Economic Background

In recent years a High Power Committee was constituted by the govt. of Karnataka to look into the problem of regional imbalances in the state. The Committee (popularly known as Nanjundappa Committee) submitted its report in 2002. The committee, on the basis of various socio-economic indicators assessed the development of 175 talukas in the state. The Committee has identified nine talukas among the ten talukas in Gulbarga district as the most backward talukas.

1.10. Occupational Structure.

The district economy is mainly an agricultural economy as agriculture contributes 31.7% of district income and provides employment to 67% of the population. (A large part of the land is under dry land cultivation as the area under irrigation is only 18.8 percent of the net area sown).

Table - 18

Occupational pattern of the workforce (Main workers%)

Census Year	Cultivators	Agricultural labourers	Household industry	Other Workers	Total
1961	45.55	26.44	9.21	18.8	100
1971	34.13	36.55	4.4	24.92	100
1981	36.78	43.95	2.66	16.61	100
1991	35.19	50.15	2.06	12.6	100
2001	27.1	40	2.5	30.4	100

The occupational structure is stagnant over the time period. The proportion of population engaged in agriculture has increased from 70% in 1961 to 75% during 1981-91 and has fallen down to 67% in 2001. The other trend observed is the percentage of agricultural laborers was increasing till 1991. It has increased from 26.44% in 1961 to 40.1% in 1991 but has come down to 39.96% in 2001. Though the share of tertiary sector in district income has increased from 36.6 in 1991 to 45.2 percent in 2001-02 but its share in employment has increased from 12.6 to 30.4% in 2001 during the same period. Thus a trend of employment generation in service sector is set in post 1991 period.

The distribution of land holdings indicates the domination of semi medium holdings. They form 28.87 percent of total holdings and cover an area of 32.36 percent.
