A study on the pattern of income and its distribution in Coimbatore district revealed that the farmers of developed block were in a better position with regard to income than their counterparts due to the break-through in agricultural technology. Since the farmers of under-developed blocks mostly owned dry land, efforts should be taken to develop dry farming techniques to improve the income from corps. Though the households of the developed block received a higher total income, there is inequality in the distribution of income among the households. This might have been due to the advantageous position enjoyed by the big farmers than others in getting the resources and other facilities for adoption of new technology. Steps should be taken to distribute the required inputs and other services to the small farmers also to enable them to reap the fruits of new technology and thereby reduce the inequality in distribution of income.
