    An investigation was carried out in six villages of Naraini Block of Banda District of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh to assess the socio-economic status of farmers of selected villages of Naraini Block. Data were recorded for various socio-economic parameters like age profile, social category, family structure, literacy status, livestock, land holding, farm size, land use practices, income from agricultural crops, income from timber tree species and horticultural trees and total annual income. Growth parameters like height, diameter and volume increment of tree species in a year that were present in farms of respondents of study area were also recorded. Agri-horti-silviculture was the most prominent system in the study area which was practiced by maximum farmers (74.17%). Acacia nilotica, Prosopis juliflora, Azadirachta indica, Syzygium cumini, etc. were major timber trees whereas Mangifera indica, Psidium guajava, Emblica officinalis and Ziziphus mauritiana were major fruit trees found in study area. Most of the farmers of the study area were illiterate (71.7%). Farmers were categorised on the basis of their land holding as small (0-2 ha), medium (2-4 ha) and large farmers (>4 ha). Animal husbandry was also adopted by majority of the population in Naraini Block with maximum percentage of buffalo (92.5%) as livestock. Yield of main product (40.05 q/ha), agricultural income (Rs 120141.7/ha) and agri-allied income (Rs 23594.26/ha) was found highest for small farmers whereas net income was found highest for large farmers (Rs 54231.67/ha). B:C ratio was found highest for large farmers (1.72) and farmers practicing agri-horti-silviculture system (1.61) among all the other agroforestry systems practiced in study area. The findings of the study provided insight into the socio-economic status of the farmers along with the output they get from various components of agroforestry.
