    A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE FACTORS DETERMINING THE ADOPTION OF IMPROVED SHEEP HUSBANDRY PRACTICES BY FARMERS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1986) Draboo, Saadat Rehman; Srivastava, R.M.
    The findings of this study are of practical utility to developmental agencies, research workers engaged in sheep developmental programmes in this country in general, Chotanagpur and Kashmir in particular. 1. Analysis of socio-personal characteristics has indicated that respondents were mostly illiterate and had low social participation although comparatively in Kashmir education was slightly better than Chotanagpur. This indicates that rural people are mostly backward. They are hardly educated; hence education should be given first priority. For the spread of 1iteracy, the most effective way is the primary school and efforts should be made to open it in every village especially in Chotanagpur where its need is of immense importance. In Kashmir further measures should be taken to educate people in larger scale. The present system of education has not had vocational bias and therefore does not offer prospects of improvement in the livelihood pattern or standard of living especially in Chotanagpur where majority of house holds live below the poverty line. As there is no immediate gain the formal system does not appeal to them readily. Thus, vocational education and training can be gainfully introduced. Here. Local dialect should be used as medium of education and training upto middle stage and after that efforts should be made to provide working knowledge of the normal medium of instructions to facilitate their children to take up to higher studies.

    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1986) Draboo, Saadat Rehman; Shrivastava, R. M.

The study was planned to determine the factors associated with adaption of improved sheep husbandry practices in two types of situations vis., Chotanagpur and Kashmir. In Kashmir the adoption rate is presumed to be higher as compared to Chotanagpur, so the study will give an indication of technological gap as well as differential factors associated dth adoption. This study will be of immense utility to extension workers, planners, academicians to utilize the Endings to their best use. The available literature relating to the studies on adoption and diffusion of improved agricultural, dairy husbandry practices is quite exhaustive but there are very few studies conducted in relation to adoption of improved sheep husbandry practices. Thus, there was definite need for such studies. With the view the present study entitled " A sociological study of the factors determining the adoption of improved sheep husbandry practices by farmers was planned with the following objectives: 1.To study the socio-personal, economic and psychological characteristics of sheep breeders of selected villages of Chotanagpur and Kashmir. 2.
