    Economic Motivation And Adoption of Improved Farming Practices In Belangi Village
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Oraon, Jagarnath; R. M. Srivastava
    The present study was conducted in Belangi, one of the adopted Model Village of B.A.V. during 1988. The data for the study were collected mainly through the standardized questionnaire by personal interview techniques. The main objective of the study was to find out the economic motivation and its relationship with adoption of improved farming practices. The farmers adopt the farming practices only for the economic gains. The socio-cultural factors influence the farmers adopt the farming practices mainly for economic gains. Higher the economic motivation, the more will be the favorable attitude towards improved farming practices. Under Model Village Development Programme for long term socio-economic improvement based initially on transfer of technology works, five villages under Ranchi district of different socio-geographic regions were selected by B.A.V. The villages are Belangi (Ratu Block), Sonal (Handar Block), Gangaghat (Angara Block), Rarha and Boreya (Kanke Block). The programme has become very popular and a situation has come when the University, the Govt., Semi Govt. and voluntary agencies have all joined hands under one umbrella for a common goal, i.e. over all development of the village.
