Adolescence is very important stage in the process of development being a period of transition from childhood to maturity. Education is the most important factor, which trains students towards social practices and discipline moreover inculcates sense of citizenship and responsibility among adolescents, therefore the study was conducted to examine the relationship of socio-personal variables, attitude of adolescents towards parents, teachers, discipline, life and humanity, country and religion. The study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state in CCSHAU of Hisar city and Pullian Khurd village on 200 adolescents. The sample represents equal number of boys and girls ranging in 16-18 years of age group comprising equal sample size with regards to area of residence. Attitude scale by Sodhi (1984) was used to assess dimensions of attitude among adolescents. The findings indicated that rural respondents perceived significantly higher attitude on different dimensions of attitude than that of urban. The results further highlighted that attitude of respondents towards country was the most important variables because it showed significant correlation with three other variables namely; towards discipline, life and humanity in rural areas but in urban areas the attitude of respondents towards country had interdependency with the attitude of respondents towards parents and teachers and life and humanity. Results further revealed that socioeconomic variables such as income, siblings, family type, parental education and occupation had association with most of the dimensions of attitude of the respondents.

    (CCSHAU, 2017) Usha; Luhach, V.P.
    Present study was conducted in Haryana state. The state was divided into three agro-climatic zones and one district from each agro-climatic zone was selected. Two villages and one market were randomly selected from each selected block (one from each district) and data was collected for the year 2015-16. A sample of 90 farmers and 30 market intermediaries were interviewed using pre-tested schedule designed for the study. Growth in area and production of onion from 2000-01 to 2015-16 was found increasing in zone-I and zone-II but decline trend was observed in zone-III. The average variable cost was highest ₹ 48450 in zone-III followed by ₹ 45401 and ₹ 45343 in zone-I and zone-II, respectively. Zone-III (₹ 101911.28) recorded highest net return over zone-I (₹ 90515.90) and zone-II (₹ 74340.94). Return per rupee of investment was found highest (2.27) in zone-III. Maximum post-harvest losses at the farm level were 22.98, 24.43 and 20.39 kg/qtl followed by wholesaler level (3.41, 3.72 and 3.68 kg/qtl) and retail level (3.40, 3.62 and 3.87 kg/qtl) in zone-I, zone-II and zone-III, respectively. Channel III was found most efficient among all marketing channels but highest disposal of onion produce was reported through channel-I. Profit earned by the onion growers was found increasing upto 6 months of storage period but after 6 months farmers had to incur loss. Farmer obtained profit of ₹ 91.37, ₹ 151.28 and ₹ 243.59 per quintal after 2 months, 4 months and 6 months of storage. High cost of seed (70.00, 93.33 and 83.33 per cent), lack of knowledge about seed/seedling treatment (70.00, 86.66 and 80.00 per cent) and lack of knowledge about proper harvesting time (93.33, 53.33 and 90.00 per cent) were major constraints during onion cultivation. Lack of technical knowledge (80.00, 90.00 and 83.33 per cent), large storage losses (76.66, 86.66 and 66.66 per cent) and lack of storage facilities (63.33, 43.33 and 63.33 per cent) were major constraints in zone-I, zone-II and zone-III, respectively due to which farmers was not inclined towards onion storage.
