University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    PLANNING FOR REGIONAL WASTE WATER SYSTEMS: ITS RELATIONSHIP TO LAND USE AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE, 1973) ANGOTTI, THOMAS R; GREENBERG, MICHAEL
    An analysis is made of planning for regional waste water systems in the New Jersey portion of the New York Metropolitan Region, with speciol attention given to the Hackensack drainage basin (which also includes a portion of Rockland County, Now York) and the Bergen County Sewerage Authority. Also included are case studies covering the New Jersey portion of the Philadelphia Metropolitan Region, the proposed Tocks Island and Deepwater projects, and the North Branch of the Raritan River. It was found that decision making for waste water planning for these areas is not truly regional in scope in that it is based on political boundaries rather than those of a major drainage basin and/or metropolitan area. Nor is it comprehensive in that it fails to involve the coordination of various elements and functions, such as water supply and land use planning, and does not serve the public interest. Finally, the process of planning is found to be incremental rather than rational, in that it docs not tonal to involvo tho c:Jtnbli:.Jhmont of gonzo, nltorn~tivo moons to attain tho gonln, end policies to effect unto goal attuinmont. A largo-scnlo regional wosto wntor oystom covering tho groator portion of o mnjor droinngo bnsin (tho Bereon Councy Seworngo Authority) was compared to a local smnll-scnle system serving a sub-bnnin (tho North West Borgen Gounty Sewerage Authority). It was found thnt tho lurge-scale system which has boon operating for over twenty years, is no more effective than the amnll-scalo system in improving stream quality and augmenting stream use. The large-scale system mny have helped maintain water quality levels in the low-density affluent communities at the basin's headwaters, but there has been no appreciable improvement in water quality for most of the people served by the system in the downstream areas. While tho large-scale system may offer lower initial capital costs and lower annual operating costs, it is no more effective in attaining water quality goals, and may even be less effective in the longrange. The relationship between waste water systems and land development was examined, including residential, industrial and open space land uses. It was found that installation of the large-scale regional system followed rather than preceded increases in population and density; also, the amount of open space available for water-based recreaticn did not increase as a result of the regional system. Finally, induntrinl wutor u~or3, for tho moot pnrt, did not m:1ko use of tho \-(.lute w~1tor :;y:;toM, refuting tho notion thut tho system necoonnrily contributes to industrial development opportunities. While existing lnrgo-scole systems mny not necessarily promote development, in at least ono case it was found that exclusion of a proposed regional system in favor of small-scale local systems wus effected os a means of restricting future lond development. Tho proposal for o regional system was defeated by local comities in an effort to maintain low-density residential pbtterns and exclude industry; these same communities were found to have exclusionary zoning practices. In general, it was found that waste water planning decisions tend to strengthen the unequal distribution of wealth, reinforce divisions in class structure, and maintain exclusionary residential patterns. Tho costs of pollution control vary considerohly from one area to the next, and are allocated without re

    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.
