in the village Donwada of Akola taluka of Akola district of Maharashtra State. The required data collected from the village using PRA technique namely preferential ranking technique' and contacting personally with 30 participants. Findings revealed that total twenty two problems of Donwada village were identified by using preferential ranking technique of PRA tool. To find out the importance of problems perceived by the farmers and key informants, rank based quotient (RBQ) was used. The rank based quotient (RBQ) was calculated for each problem and it ranged from 98.78 to 53.03. The highest RBQ value correspond to the problem namely non-availability of labour in the village (98.78) followed by heavy damage/losses due to wild animals (97.27) and less adoption of soil reclamation techniques (96.36). Further, from the study it is observed that the maximum village magnitude value (7969935.6) was attributed to less adoption of soil reclamation techniques and ranked top most problems of the farmers of Donwada village followed by non-availability labour in the village. Moreover, the problems like heavy damage/losses due to wild animals, less adoption of soil and water conservation techniques, lack of knowledge about plant protection measures, non-availability of organic manure and poor linkages with Agril. University Scientists were found to be contributory factors for low productivity of crops. On the basis of problems identified, some training programmes need to be organized by Dr. PDKV, Akola/extension agency/NGO for the farmers of Donwada village on different topics such as awareness about soil and water conservation techniques, soil reclamation techniques for saline sodic soil, INM in cotton, IPM in cotton, process products of soybean, plantation of live fencing crops/plants etc.
The present study was conducted in 121 vasahat of five talukas of Baroda district and planned to measure the socio-techno economic changes of PAFs at rehabilitated place and factors influencing on it. For the measurement of socio-techno-economic changes, the scale developed by Prajapati (1993) was used. The results of the study depicts that the majority of the PAFs had medium socio-techno economic changes. It is also found that socio-techno economic changes of PAFs was significantly influenced by six variables namely social participation, type of house, material possession, socioeconomic status, annual income, and innovativeness. Further the major contributing factors like risk orientation, scientific orientation, attitude towards modern agriculture, material possession, extension contact, education, socio-economic status, annual income, sources of information, land holding, innovativeness, size of family, type of house and type of family were having maximum total indirect and positive effect on the socio-techno economic changes. Hence, these factors are showing greater importance towards the socio-techno economic changes of PAFs at rehabilitated place.

The present study was undertaken in selected villages from two Panchayat Samities i.e. Akola and Barshitakli of Akola district in Maharashtra State. An exploratory design of social research was used for present study. A random sample of 100 dairy farmer were selected as respondents from these two panchayat samities, those who have five years of experience in dairy farming and have more than four milch animal. The data was collected from them and used for analysis and interpretation. The results revealed that, 44.00 per cent of them were in middle age group category, nearly above one third (34%) were educated upto high school level (8th std. to 10th std.), near about half i.e. 48 per cent of the dairy farmers possessed Semi-medium (2.01 to 4.0 ha) category of land holding. The annual income of the 45 per cent and 44 per cent dairy farmers were have upto Rs. 50000/- and Rs. 50001 to Rs. 1,00,000/-, respectively. Majority of them (66%) have 7-12 years of experience in the dairy farming and 74 per cent possessed 5-10 milch animals. More than fifty per cent of the dairy farmers i.e. 56 per cent lived in joint family system and 42 per cent of them have 6-11 members in their family. Majority of the dairy farmers 64 per cent and 60 per cent were in medium category of economic motivation and scientific orientation category, respectively. More than half of the dairy farmers (56%) observed in low category of socio economic status. The relational analysis showed that the variables like land holding, annual income, herd size, economic motivation, scientific orientation and knowledge about improved dairy management practices were found highly significant with socio-economic status of the dairy farmer. It clearly had shown that as these variables increases, socio-economic status of the dairy farmer increases.
SUMMARY :The present investigation was carried out in six villages of Akola taluka in Akola district of Maharashtra state. An exploratory design of social research was used. A sample of 90 farmers were drawn and considered for tabulation and analysis of data. The farmer who had been supplied with biofertilizers was the unit of study. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (75.56%) do not have knowledge about phosphate solubalising bacteria (PSB), 60 per cent farmers did not use jiggery as a sticking agent during seed treatment with biofertilizers, 75.55 per cent respondents reported blackening of hands and cloths while treating the seed with biofertilzers and non availability of biofertilizers in time before sowing (60.00%). Regarding opinion expressed by the farmers, it was noted that motivating rural youth to establish small scale co-operative "Biofertilizer production unit" at village level.
Background: Lack of correct and inadequate knowledge leads to under or over adoption of innovation which proves fatal to the farming business. Therefore, Krishi Vigyan Kendra imparted training and demonstration programmes at Tribal area of Amravati district under TSP. Hence a study was conducted to ascertain the level of knowledge and adoption of farmers with respect to Bengal gram production technologies due to training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghatkhed, Amravati. Methods: The study was carried out in three villages in tribal area of Dharni block of Amravati district, where most of the farmers were growing Bengal gram crop. To measure the impact of the training programme, the farmers were grouped as ‘trainees’ and ‘non-trainees’ and a random sample of 25 farmers from each group were drawn from KVK adopted villages of tribal area for testing their level of knowledge and extent of adoption by means of a well structured schedule. Result: The trainees farmers had high level of knowledge and adoption than the non-trainees farmers. It was also found that calculated value of ‘t’ was significant at 1 per cent level of significance. It means that there is significant difference between trainees and non-trainees regarding the extent of adoption of package of practices of Bengal gram crop.
