(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1993) Lalit Kumar Das; Dr. N. Prasad
1. A considerable percentage of oraon and Munda farmer respondents were found to be in the medium category of socio-economic status. 2. The economic motivation, risk-preference and scientific orientation of a little over 50 per cent of tribal farmers and extension participation for an appreciable percentage (69 x) of these farmers were at a medium level. 3. By and large, the tribal farmers' awareness level with the agricultural extension programmes was also medium, 4 In the opinion of majority of tribal farmer respondents,. their participation in agricultural programs, its quality and level of implementation of these programmes was neither high nor low. 5 Similar was the case with regard to the extent of use of extension methods by extension workers, as well as, farmers. Out of the extension methods, however, where the Oraon farmers considered group meeting and method demonstration to be effective, the Munda farmers preferred method demonstrations and discussion with farmers.
