“…Lal et al 12 used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and identified 4 types of broad impediments viz., environmental constraints, pecuniary constraints, policy constraints and miscellaneous impediments and ranked by using Garrett ranking technique. Similar in-depth study had been carried out by Sinha et al, 13 Popoola et al, 14 Bandhavya et al, 8 Lal et al 15 Reviewing the above studies, this paper uncovers various impediments perceived by farmers in the cyclone affected region of Odisha.…”

Taking into account the farmer's perception of impediments, this study examined the impediments encountered in cyclone ravaged regions as well as their plausible suggestions. Odisha is one of the top 10 ranked climatic vulnerable state of India. 480 km of coastal boundary is exposed to Bay of Bengal and 06 coastal districts are highly vulnerable towards climatic events. As Odisha has an agrarian economy, farmers are severely affected by cyclones. So, the state was purposively selected for the study. Total of 160 respondent farmers were chosen randomly from 8 villages of 2 districts. 20 specific impediments (constraints) were further categorized into 4 broad dimensions of impediments viz., social, economic, environmental, and miscellaneous impediments. Impediments were ranked using Garrett's ranking method, while Kendall's coefficient of concordance approach was executed to rank 4 broad dimensions of impediments. Among 20 impediments, "rain and storms lead to flooding after cyclone" with Garrett's mean value 64.53 was perceived as the most important one. Kendall's coefficient of concordance was significant at 1% significance level (p=.000, <0.01) with the commendable agreement value of 0.588, as it ranges from 0 to 1. Where, Zero denotes nonexistent of agreement among judges, and one denotes perfect agreement with the ?2 value of 282.192 with 3 degrees of freedom. Kendall's coefficient of concordance values for 4 broad impediments were environmental impediment (3.53) was ranked first as constraint followed by economic impediment (2.85), social impediment (2.40) and miscellaneous impediment (1.22). The following suggestions were extracted from the grassroots level investigations viz., attending timely training and awareness programs regarding cyclones, constructions of pucca houses to protect from heavy wind and rain, cultivation of early verities of paddy crops and vegetables, constructing permanent drainage systems, reforestation and afforestation of salt-tolerant mangrove trees, chlorination of drinking water after the cyclone and use of battery operated gadgets to save life post cyclones.

“…50%) and high cost of ICT tools (19.17%) were the minimum constraint faced by the respondents. Related findings were reported by Sinha et al[10] wherein they noted that, difficulty in reading the screen text, time constraints, poor utilization skill, hiked internet cost, difficulty in understanding the language were the foremost constraints faced by the respondents. Similar observations were recorded by Yadav et al[13] wherein they conducted study in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan and reported that, improper service of network provider, difficulty to find relevant .…”

“…Our findings are also in consistent to some of the previous studies carried out in India. Sinha et al [10] noted similar findings wherein, about 40% respondents found to have access to the internet using owned laptop, mobile and computer. Comparable findings were also noted by Mutunga et al [11] wherein, most of the (38.4%) respondents used their phones to send and receive both text and voice messages.…”

This cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the extent of use of mobile based ICT tools by dairy farmers and constraints faced by them while its use. Respondents were randomly selected from two districts of western Maharashtra namely Satara and Pune and study was undertaken during June – November, 2020. A total of 120 respondents (60 each from Satara and Pune districts) were randomly selected and interviewed with the help of structured schedule. Analysis of data was done and frequency and percentage were calculated accordingly. Almost all the variables studied like age group (68.32%), family size (39.17%), land holding (48.33%), herd size (45.00%), experience (69.17%), social participation (75.84%), extension contacts (70.00%) and knowledge level (72.50%) could be grouped under medium level. Dairy farmers were mostly aware about voice calls (90.83%), whatsapp (82.50%) and financial apps for e-transaction (65%). However, they were totally unaware about use of Twitter, Skype, Instagram, Bluetooth and GIS applications. Similarly, most of the respondents never used video calls (73.34%), SMS facility (70.84%), and mobile for taking photographs (64.16%) related to dairy farming. Whats app found to be used on daily basis, and mobile based ICT tools were used primarily for social purposes with less involvement for its use in order to improve dairy farming activities. Major constraints faced by dairy farmers were unavailability of relevant information in local language, lack of reliable, useful and location specific contents, lack of repairing services and centers in the village. Based on the observations, it is concluded that actual utilization of mobile based ITC tools by dairy farmers is poor in terms of its use for the purpose of dairy related activities. There is need to popularized use of mobile based ICT tools and impart competence and skills in its use among the dairy farmers.
