Famers’ fair an important tool in transferring latest technologies to farmers is gaining momentum over the years. The main purpose of organizing such farmers’ fair is to create awareness among visitors about new technologies developed by researchers primarily from the government sector, agricultural and allied research centres and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs). Considering its importance, an exploratory study was carried out to identify the constraints perceived by the visiting farmers and remedies suggested by them for improvement of farmers’ fair. The present study was conducted at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCS HAU), Hisar main campus during 2019-20. Empirical data were collected through personal interview technique with the help of well-structured and pre-tested interview schedule and analyzed using standard methodology. Findings revealed that infrastructural constraints were perceived highest with composite index value (CIV) of 38.28, followed by physical (34.37), institutional (30.00), miscellaneous (19.27) and social (07.81) constraints. With regards to suggestions, most of the farmers suggested time duration of farmers’ fair should be increased followed by adequate transport facilities, seeds should be made available at low price, etc. Hence, the paper recommends that although the farmers’ fairs are playing an effective role in information dissemination but must be updated each year to catch more attention of the farmers.

The importance of Kisan Mela as a tool for extension education and raising farmer awareness has long been established. It aids them in expanding their knowledge of various cultural customs, cutting-edge concepts, newly created technologies, and government policy initiatives. The objective of the present study was to determine respondents' levels of satisfaction and investigate the constraints perceived by the visitors of the Kisan Mela at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi. Information’s were collected through a pre-tested, semi-structured interview schedule from 120 randomly selected respondents. The three-point continuum method was used to calculate the level of satisfaction, with the most satisfied, satisfied, and not satisfied categories, receiving scores of 3, 2, and 1, respectively. Ranking was done using the total weighted mean score (TWMS). Respondents were asked to share their opinions on various aspects of the constraints listed in order to analyze them. It was found that majority of respondents were most satisfied with location of venue, timing of events, orientation of different stalls and behaviour of different Kisan Mela organizing persons. However, overall the farmers were satisfied with Kisan Mela. About 54.17% Kisan Mela visitors, said that they were not faced any difficulty during Kisan Mela. The measure constraints perceived by the visitors were lack of drinking water facility (24.17%), high price of products/seeds (17.5%), non-availability of desire quality of seeds (10.0%) and routine work of agriculture is disturb (9.17%). Hence it was suggested that drinking water facility should be there in Kisan Mela, seeds/products should be available at low price and the presence of some food stalls in the Kisan Mela.

Kisan Mela (Farmers’ Fair) is an organized educational activity for involving and educating farmers by bringing together the farmers, scientists, extension workers, input agencies, developmental departments and non-governmental agencies on agriculture and allied aspects at a Research Station or an agriculturally important educational centre or a public field of convenience. These are being organized from time to time by different agricultural institutes throughout the year to create awareness among the farmers and farm women about new technologies in agricultural and allied subjects developed by researchers from central and state agricultural and allied research centres, state agricultural universities and some private sector institutions. The present study was conducted in the Dhemaji Hut- The Atmanirbhar Dhemaji, a Kisan mela cum exhibition programme, organized by the Dhemaji district administration, Assam in collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhemaji, Assam Agricultural University, Simen Chapori, Assam on 11th to 13th January 2024. Two hundred forty respondents were selected randomly and interviewed personally with the help of pre-tested, semi-structured interview schedule. They were interviewed to know about their personal details, their satisfaction level with the Kisan mela, their views on different components of the event, any constraints they faced during the mela. The data recorded were analyzed using frequency and percentage. The findings revealed that majority of farmers and farm women were satisfied about the location of the venue (1st), the behavior of different mela organizing persons (2nd) and the timing of the event (3rd). Among the constraints perceived by the respondents, 38.33% found no constraint in any form while 37.50% reported ‘lack of sanitary facility’ as the major constraint in the mela. With sufficient numbers of toilets and proper arrangement for regular cleaning of the same during mela period in future may be the solution to such problem. Some other constraints recorded from farmers’ perspectives were non-availability of quality seeds, high price of products/ seeds, disturbance in routine work in agriculture fields, cost of transportation and provision for meals etc. It can be concluded that although the Kisan melas play a very effective role in the dissemination of information on agriculture and allied subjects, they must be updated each year based on the feedback received to catch more attention from the farmers and make it more effective.
