    (CCSHAU Hisar, 2022-09) Bano, Naaz; Dahiya, Rajesh
    The present study was conducted in two states of India namely Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. A total sample of 200 small and marginal farm families i.e. 100 CFS and 100 IFS were selected randomly. Majority of the farm families were headed by the male family members, belonged to 30-50 years of age, general caste and educated up to primary. Most of the respondents were married, having joint and large family size, medium level of social and extension participation. Farm families shifted towards IFS as they found it advantageous. Wheat and mustard were major rabi season crops in both the states, whereas cotton in Haryana and sugarcane and paddy in Uttar Pradesh were major cash crops of Kharif season, most of the respondents were growing summer moong in Haryana and lentil in Uttar Pradesh as leguminous crops. Dairy was prominent in Haryana, whereas in Uttar Pradesh dairy was accompanied by goatry. Crop+Dairy+Horticulture was found highly profitable in Haryana and Crop+Dairy+ Horticulture+Goatry farming had highest net annual income in Uttar Pradesh. Most of CFS farm families had medium level of livelihood security, on the other hand more than half of the IFS farm families had high level of livelihood security. There was significant difference in livelihood security of CFS and IFS farm families. Inability in integrated pest management (IPM) and integrated nutrient management (INM), poor access to animal care and health services, difficulty in procuring machineries for crop production, high cost of insecticide, and lack of infrastructure for farm produce were the constraints perceived by the farm families. The livelihood securities of CFS and IFS farm families had positive& significant correlation with education, monthly family income, land holding, farming experience, livestock possession, possession of agricultural & household assets, social and extension participation, mass media exposure, training exposure and exposure to e- services.
