    FORMAL AND INFORMAL SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AS RELATED TO DIFFUSION OF INFORMATION AND ADOPTION OF FARM PRACTICES IN A VILLAGE IN INDIA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 1966) SHETH, NAGINLAL SOMALAL; LIONBERGER, HERBERT F
    This study emerged out of the critical food situation in India, and the hope that knowledge of change processes had for increasing food production. The problem was to investigate the relationships between farmers' participation in various social groups to their possession of scientific information and adoption of new farm practices. The village Mordevi in the Gujarat state was selected as the research site for the purpose of collecting the data because it resembled the average village in the state in terms of crops grown, irrigation facilities, caste diversity, distance from urban centers, organizational arrangements, and supporting local crafts, skills and services. All farmers who cultivated land in Mordevi were interviewed. Supporting information was collected from the private and governmental records. The social participatior of farmers (independent variable), was operationalized into four different categories, (l) instrumental formal, (2) instrumental informal, (3) expressive formal, and (4) expressive informal. The adoption of farm practices and possession of scientific information about farming were the dependent variables. Appropriate operational measures were devised for the measurement of each. The nested design of analysis of variance and correlation coefficients were the statistics applied to determine the relationship of social participation to possession of scientific farm information and adoption of farm practices. Parsons' action theory, relevant to this study, served the theoretical framework for formulating the hypotheses. It was found that: 1. Instrumental formal participation of farmers was positively related to their possession of scientific information and adoption of farm practices, but instrumental informal social participation of farmers did not show a consistent positive relationship with either. 2. Expressive formal and informal social participation of farmers was not positively related to their possession of scientific farm information, but was positively related to their adoption of farm practices. Within expressive social participation of farmers, participation in caste activities was positively related to possession of scientific information and adoption of farm practices. 3. The variables, farm size, years schooling, and caste used.as intervening variables, were significantly related to possession of scientific information and adoption of farm practices, as originally assumed.
