Abstract
The study was carried out to assess the impact of cluster front line demonstrations
on adoption of sesame package of practices by the farmers of Banda district of Uttar Pradesh.
Data was collected during 2021-22 through personal interview method using semi structured
research schedule. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study with Ex-post
Facto research design. District Banda falls under Bundelkhand agro climatic zone of Uttar
Pradesh. A list of the 178 beneficiaries was obtained from KVK, Banda. Out of theses 178
beneficiaries, 50 respondents were selected randomly with the help of random number table.
Then, the villages of 50 beneficiaries were identified and equal numbers of non-beneficiary
respondents were selected from each identified village as control group. Total 100 respondents
(50 beneficiaries & 50 non-beneficiaries) were selected for the study. The study reveals that
majority of respondents were belonged to middle age group within the range of 36-58 years and
were having low level of education. It was observed that maximum respondents had semimedium and marginal type of land holdings with low to medium level of annual family income.
It was reported from the study that majority of the respondents had joint family type and mixed
and kachcha type of households. Most of the respondents were belonged to OBC category and
engaged in farming as sole occupation type. It was found in the study that majority of
respondents were having low level of social participation with an average extension participation
with small and medium family size. The study assessed that there is no similarity between the
level of knowledge of beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers regarding sesame production
technology. It is also clear in the study that there is a significant difference in the adoption of sesame
production technology of beneficiary and non-beneficiary. So, from the study we concluded that
Beneficiary Respondents are sounder in terms of Socio Economic, Knowledge Level and Sesame
Production Technologies as compared to Non-Beneficiary Respondents. So, the results of the study will
help the extension agencies to develop suitable modules for the farmers for increasing the sesame
production and improving the living standards.
