    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1999) Ashok Vijay Minj; Dr.R.M.Srivastava
    ) The analysis of socio-personal and economic characteristics of the respondents of C.V.P. and control village revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to middle age group with nuclear type of family having medium size, high social participation in C.V.P. area observed. The study again supports the earlier observation that education is one factor which should be given top priority in the process of Agroforestry programme development. A considerable percentage of the respondents were having at least one pair of bullocks, improved plough and /or bullock cart, household items like chair, cycle, radio, sewing machine, etc.. livestock such as poultry, goatery, piggery, milch cattle etc. Land holding upto 5 acres in their possession and engaged either as farm labourer or cultivator. Notably most of the respondents belonged to medium socio-economic status. 2) Education has a definite positive relationship with the level of adoption and if we want to make our developmental programme to be more successful much more stress has to be given to the education of farm ers which will make them more innovative, skillful and abreast with knowledge of improved practices. Apart from education another most significant factor is extension contact/ social participation. Thus it is quite imperative that it is not only the input supply but regular service, guidance, training through extension contact is essential to ensure the success. 3) This study has proved that the farmers adopt the improved Agroforestry Practices mainly for the economic gain. Higher the economic motivation the more will be the favourable attitude towards the farming practices.
