Abstract

The present study was conducted in Udaipur Agro Producer Company Limited (UAPCL) in Udaipur of Rajasthan. The sample included 50 members and 50 non-members selected randomly to analyse the social and economic impacts of participation in the organisation. The production, income and employment generation for the members of the organisation were significantly higher in comparison to the non-members. There was considerable difference in the amount of savings, expenditure and assets owned between the members and non-members. A significant difference between the members and non-members was observed in terms of food security and social empowerment. The members were also relatively well off in terms of health, educational and habitat security.
