adoption of technologies promoted under All India Coordinated Research Project on
Home Science among rural women and constraints faced by them in adoption of
technologies.

Rajasthan state. From the panchayat samiti, five villages where the technologies have
been promoted by the AICRP since last five years were included in the study. The
sample consisted of 100 rural women, 20 from each village. Personal interview
technique was used for data collection. Frequency, percentage and mean percent score
were used for analysis of the data.
The profile of the respondents revealed that majority of the respondents (60%)
