| dc.description.abstract | Rural women play the dual roles of managing the farm as well as home affairs. Need of information is vital to rural women as it is a critical input for modernizing of farm production and home management in rural areas. Sources of information are tools that can possibly meet the information needs of rural women. The present study on "Information need identification and source preferences for home and farm management by rural women" has been conducted in Dharwad and Kundagol taluks of Dharawad district during the year 2017-18. Total of 150 rural women were selected for the study. Personal interview method was used to collect the data and suitable statistical tools were used for analyzing the data. The study revealed that most the respondents were middle aged with low level of education and belonged to nuclear, small sized families with medium land holding. Most of the respondents need information on preparation of handicrafts-knitting, crochet, embroidery (94.00 %), care of pregnant and lactating women (92.66 %), preparation of consumer chemicals-soaps & detergents, phenyl (90.66 %), information about training institutions (90.00 %) related to home management. In case of farm management, 79.33 per cent of the women need information on vegetable cultivation, high yielding varieties (76.00 %) and dairy farming (65.33 %). The sources preferred for seeking home management information was family members (95.33%), department of women & child welfare (82.00 %) and television (41.33 %). Neighbors (87.33%), cooperative society (37.33 %) and krishimela (34.00 %) were the sources preferred for farm management information. With regard to utilization pattern of information, most of the respondents utilized information from informal sources compared to formal and mass media sources. Hence there is need to provide information to rural women through preferred sources to update their knowledge in various fields. | |
