Creation and development of enterprise is shouldered by men and women equally. The study was undertaken in seven colleges of Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University of Gujarat State; to seek the answer that whether the revised curriculum is able to attain its objectives of creating entrepreneurs among both the genders. A pre-structured interview scheduled and a standardized tool was used to measure independent variables (basic profile) and dependent variable (entrepreneurial talent and willingness to set-up enterprise) respectively. Frequency, percentage, range, correlation coefficient were used to tabulate the data. Significant difference was obtained when overall entrepreneurial talent was compared among girls and boys. Risk taking ability, problem solving ability, persuasiveness and leadership ability of both the gender were found to be non significant. Girls were found to have higher self-concept and achievement motivation in comparison to their counterpart while boys had more positive attitude towards other entrepreneurs’ trait. Only about 12 per cent of the respondents were ready to set-up their enterprise and among them only 14 per cent were girls. The reason stated by boys for non willingness for entrepreneurial venture was ’lack of financial assistance’ and for girls it was ’lack of family support’. Programme of study, year of study and mass media exposure showed positive correlation with entrepreneurial talent, thus enhancing these can bring change entrepreneurial talent of agricultural graduates.
Rural women are engaged in various strenuous activities related farm, livestock and house hold throughout the day. Rural women play a key role in Indian agriculture and allied sectors. However, they are least concerned about their health. Assessment of their body composition parameters of rural women can be an appropriate base for planning and implementing interventional programmes for improving their health status at grass root level. The present study reports health status of rural women of Deesa taluka in Gujarat by assessing their body composition parameters. It is apparent from results that only one-fourth rural women fell under normal range of BMI and PBF. Looking into the type of body, 30 per cent rural women were standard type, rest were either underweight low fat or over weight. Their mineral and protein components were also below normal range. This is an urgent need to make them aware about altering their diet to get proper nutrition. Interventional programmes must be implemented to improve the situation.
Industrialization and socio-educational advancement has created opportunities for women to work while raising a family and thereby contributing to Indian economy. The study was undertaken under AGRESCO project, in seven colleges of Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University of Gujarat state; to seek answer that whether the female students prefer career or/and family in modern society. A pre-structured interview scheduled and a standardized tool was used to measure independent variables and dependent variable (career and family values scale), respectively. Frequency, percentage, range, correlation coefficient and CRD were used to tabulate the data. The findings revealed that 57.33 per cent of the agricultural university graduates (female) had medium career value and majority (74.67 %) of the respondents had higher family values. Only 21.33 per cent of respondents were willing to seek job or any entrepreneurial venture and that too after completion of post graduation. Among seven colleges, College of Dairy Science and Food Technology ranked first in career value. No significant difference for the family value among girl students of various colleges was obtained. Career value and family value of the respondents was not correlated. Programme of study and father occupation and education showed positive and significant association with career values of the respondents.
The study was undertaken under AGRESCO project for the year 2020-2021, at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University of Gujarat state; with the aim to find meta-cognitive skills amongst boys and girls of SDAU students. Representative samples of 160 respondents were proportionately selected from all the colleges of SDAU. Standardized scale namely “Meta-cognitive skills scale MCSS-GMS” developed by Dr. Madhu Gupta and Ms. Suman was used for data collection. Due to covid-19, the data was collected by questionnaire method. Statistical analysis was done by computing, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, and correlation co-efficient. The results shows that 67.50 per cent of the respondents belonged to ‘Average Meta-cognitive Level’, When Meta-cognitive skills amongst boys and girls of SDAU students were compared it was found that there is statistically high difference of z= 4.61 (P<0.0001) and boys (Mean=153.21) has significantly higher Meta-cognitive skill in comparison to girl students (Mean=143.44). All the students plan and monitor their learning in same manner, irrespective of their gender but boys showed higher implementation skill and evaluation skill, in comparison to girls. It can be concluded from the table that gender and CGPA shows positive and significant correlation. It can be concluded from the study that Meta Cognitive Skills affects academic achievements amongst students of SDAU.
