Understanding farmers’ attitude is instrumental in initiating/formulating any strategy to promote the adoption of technology. A scale was developed to analyze the attitude of women farmers towards climate-resilient dairy farming practices. A list of 50 statements comprising both positive and negative statements were collated and refined based on Edward’s 14 principles and 35 statements were retained for administering to women farmers from non-sampling area for further analysis. Finally, “t” value for each statement, and found that 17 statements were having “t” value greater than 1.75. The 17 statements were rained for the final scale and administered for reliability and validity testing. Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.786 confirmed the internal consistency of the developed scale. The content validity of the scale was ascertained based on the judgment of the experts. The final developed scale can be used to measure the attitude of women farmers on climate-resilient dairy farming practices in the present context and beyond the study area with modifications.
Aim: To document and analyze digital start-ups operating in the field of agriculture and suggesting some strategies to improve public extension system.Study Design: Descriptive was employed for the study.Duration of the Study: Study was carried out between last quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019.Methodology: Desk study method was adopted to document the start-ups and focus group discussion was carried out with the experts in the field of agriculture extension.Results: Fifty two digital start-ups were operating in the agriculture sector and these start-ups were placed into different components across agriculture value chain.Conclusion: Government agencies are rich sources of data and on the other side start-ups lack data and are fully equipped to serve farmers. So, collaboration between the two could be a game changer in revolutionizing the agriculture extension system.
