10 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessing role of water user associations in enhancing efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa) production: Insights from the Nagarjuna Sagar Project command area of Andhra Pradesh | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include water user associations, technical efficiency, rice production, nagarjuna sagar project, andhra pradesh, data envelopment analysis, double bootstrap approach, irrigation water. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 4 factual, 3 list, 1 definition, 1 relationship, 1 summary. 6 of the 10 pairs (60.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 4 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset explores the role of Water User Associations (WUAs) in enhancing technical efficiency in rice farming within the Nagarjuna Sagar Project Command area of Andhra Pradesh. It includes 10 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a study published in The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences. The study utilized Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a double bootstrap approach to analyze data from 112 WUA participants and 86 non-participants. Key findings include the average technical efficiency of farming households and factors influencing WUA participation, such as equitable water distribution and water charge fixation.

| What method was used to evaluate technical efficiency in rice farming in the Nagarjuna Sagar Project Command area? | Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a double bootstrap approach | Addressing the rice (Oryza sativaL.) yield gap is one of the most necessary steps in sustaining food security. The survey was carried out during 2021–22 to investigate the sources of technical efficiency in rice farming within the Nagarjuna Sagar Project Command area (NSP) of Andhra Pradesh, India. Utilizing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a double bootstrap approach, the study analysed the primary data collected from 112 Water User Association (WUA) participants and 86 non-participants across the Kanapparu, Muppalla, and Nadenla villages in Muppalla, and Nadenla blocks of the NSP command area of Guntur district. The estimates of average technical efficiency (TE) of 0.69 indicated that farming households can reduce inputs by 31% without altering output levels. | 310 | definition | 1.000 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/161977 | Utilizing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a double bootstrap approach, the study analysed the primary data collected from 112 Water User Association (WUA) participants and 86 non-participants across the Kanapparu, Muppalla, and Nadenla villages in Muppalla, and Nadenla blocks of the NSP command area of Guntur district. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |
