| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted during the year 2016-18 in Bangalore Rural and Kolar districts of Karnataka state. A total sample of 160 farmers comprising of 80 beneficiaries and 80 non beneficiaries were randomly selected from 16 villages of Bangalore Rural and Kolar. Data was collected using structured pre-tested interview schedule. The results of knowledge level of beneficiaries revealed that, about 77.50 per cent was having high level of knowledge whereas, 62.50 per cent of the non-beneficiaries had low level of knowledge. With respect to overall perception of beneficiaries revealed that 71.25 per cent were having better perception whereas, 50.00 per cent of the nonbeneficiaries had poor perception. The results of ‘t’ test indicates that the overall knowledge and perception mean score of beneficiaries was 33.03 and 82.65 as compared to non-beneficiaries, who got 21.40 and 59.90. The difference in mean value was significant at one per cent level. This clearly indicates that beneficiaries had high impact than non-beneficiaries. Major constraints faced by beneficiaries are lack of skilled labourers and high cost of labour, lack of irrigation facilities and lack of knowledge about fluctuating price and market information. Whereas major constraints faced by nonbeneficiaries are lack of information and knowledge regarding different farming system, lack of irrigation facilities and political influence in distribution of inputs. The major suggestions of beneficiaries are provision of labour saving technology at manageable cost, should provide live demonstrations on IFS to increase the self confidence and interest of farmers and should provide effective marketing facilities at village or local level. Whereas the major suggestions of non-beneficiaries are timely sanctioning of high quality of agricultural inputs and implements through subsidised prices, provision for irrigation facility, water harvesting technology and moisture conservation in field were the important suggestions to overcome the constraints. | en_US |
