dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted in purposively selected Hisar district from western zone and Karnal district from eastern zone of Haryana on the basis of close proximity of the centers issuing weathers forecasting advisory services to western and eastern zone. From each district two block was selected randomly. Three villages were selected randomly from each selected block. A sample of 15 farmers from each village was selected purposively. In this way a total number of 180 farmers were selected for the present study. In all 180 farmers viz., 90 beneficiary farmers were selected and remaining 90 non- beneficiary farmers were selected. Agro-Met Advisory Services is the application of science and technology to predict the state of atmosphere for the future time and a given location. Human being has attempted to predict the weathers informally for the millennia, and formally since at least the nineteenth century. Agro-Met Advisory Services are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of atmosphere and using scientific understanding of atmosphere processes to reject the atmosphere will evolve. The study revealed that beneficiary farmers had more knowledge as compared to non-beneficiary farmers, because of the influence of Agro-met Advisory Service. The study indicated that, beneficiary farmers had medium to high Perception towards climate change. This is a good trend and this has to be still improved by conducting more awareness programmes. Majority of the respondents (57.23 %) fell under the category of very low vulnerability, whereas, 27.22 and 13.33 per cent of them were belonged to category of low and medium vulnerability. Only 2.22 per cent of the respondents were coming under the category of high vulnerability. Majority of farmers face technical constraints revealed that lack of awareness to the development and utilization of new technologies was considered the most serious constraints by the farmers. In case of understanding ability constraints revealed that belief about traditional weather forecast is more powerful than the modern weather forecast in farmers view was considered the most serious constraints by the farmers. In case of availability constraints revealed that lack of two-way communication between the sender and the receiver was considered the most serious constraints by the farmers. The results indicate multiple regression analysis between selected independent variables and knowledge level towards AAS was inferred that, all the eighteen independent variables together contributed 67.30 per cent of beneficiary farmers and 49.10 per cent of non-beneficiary farmers variation in the knowledge level of the farmers towards AAS. The results indicate multiple regression analysis between selected independent variables and perception level towards AAS was inferred that, all the eighteen independent variables together contributed 61.20 per cent of beneficiary farmers and 37.50 per cent of non-beneficiary farmers variation in the knowledge level of the farmers towards AAS. Students t-test indicates that there is significant difference in the knowledge and perception level of the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers.en_US
