In each district adopted and non-adopted villages were located where Village Adoption Programmed has been implemented by UAS, Bangalore through respective ’KVK. From each village 30 respondents were selected randomly making a total sample of 120 and data was collected through personal interview schedule. The results noticed that, in adopted village of Tumkur district calculated Z values for ragi (2.99), red gram (2.59) and dairy (3.89) practices were significant at 0.01 level of probability. Whereas in adopted village of Bangalore Rural district calculated Z values for ragi (2.83), red gram (2.74) practices found to be significant at 0.01 level of probability. While, dairy practices (2.40) were significant at 0.05 level of probability. Hence, significant change in impact level of farmers before and after implementation of Village Adoption Programme in both adopted villages was confirmed. In adopted villages education, farming experience, training received, extension contact, innovativeness, social participation, mass media exposure, market orientation, achievement motivation, risk orientation, scientific orientation, extension participation were significantly related to impact level of the respondents.
