his study presents the perceived characteristics of pig master, a mobile app developed as a Continuing Veterinary Education (CVE) tool for veterinarians. The CVE programmes are being taken up by various institutions in India and it was observed that many of the field veterinarians are not able to attend the regular CVE programmes for obvious reasons, for whom ICT tools like mobile devices can be useful. In this context, veterinarians’ perception of the mobile application on pig farming developed after the need assessment was assessed. The study was carried out with the veterinarians of the State Department of Animal Husbandry (SDAH), Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 91 field veterinarians was studied to whom Android Package on pig farming and questionnaires were sent. The ‘pig master’ mobile application was found to have good visual quality, more credible, effective in arousal of curiosity and was with high information coverage along with user-friendliness. Moreover, the app was also found with remarkable utility and helpful in decision-making as expressed by the majority of the field veterinarians. This study emphasizes the need of making CVE programmes effective by using digital media towards enrichment of knowledge of veterinarians.

This study aimed to identify the factors affecting farmers’ perception of climate change and the adoption of Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) measures as a mitigation strategy for climate change. From the existing literature review, the study has identified the factors that potentially influence the adoption of climate mitigation and adaptation technologies. The binary logit model was employed using survey data collected from the Agra district of Uttar Pradesh during the year 2018-19. Results show that about 60 per cent of households had a clear perception of climate change, and age, education, membership of groups, mass media exposure, and extension agency contacts were key influencing factors in farmers’ perception of climate change. Similarly, education, occupation, mass media exposure, awareness of climate change consequences, climate change perception, and attitude of farmers increase the probability of adopting soil and water conservation measures by the farmers in their fields. Therefore, the study results have significant implications for policies and campaigns promoting adopting climate-smart technologies to make the agricultural system more resilient to climate change.

Effective linkages among farmers play a crucial role in fostering growth within the agriculture sector. This study conducted during 2020-23 utilizes social network analysis to examine the backward and forward agribusiness linkages of farmers in Dairy Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) in Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. Through focused group discussions, a comprehensive list of private and government institutions acting as linkage actors for each FPO were compiled. The findings highlight that farmers primarily rely on strong informal ties for accessing agricultural information and services. Furthermore, a disparity is observed between the FPOs in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, with the former having a smaller number of linkage actors. The FPO in Bihar demonstrates stronger associations with government institutions and officials, while the FPO in Madhya Pradesh exhibits stronger connections with private entities, including the food processing industry, artificial insemination (AI) technicians, and veterinary doctors. The study provides valuable insights into the connectedness of network actors, underscores the importance of multi-actor alliances, and emphasizes the implications of centrality measures in determining network dynamics.

Migration is an integral part of social ecology as well as economic development. The four streams of internal migration are rural-rural, rural-urban, urban-rural, and urban-urban. Rural-urban migration has its inherent linkages to agricultural development. In recent years, COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of migration by humongous scale and magnitude. The study was conducted to examine the nature and extent of rural-urban migration, the role, performance and adaptation during migration of family vis-a-vis individual, the inter and intra-level interaction between two sets of variables, and lastly to generate a micro sociological policy based on the empirical research during 2020-21. Three urban and three rural areas of Birbhum district were selected purposively, depending on the prevalence of agricultural and non-agricultural activities. Three hundred respondents were identified through the snowball sampling method. The results show that variables like age, education, family size, income, expenditure, employment and management factor have the highest impact on migration. Also, both the pull and push factors are the main driver of migration.

The preference for dairy breeds is likely to depend on resource availability. This study attempted to analyze the distribution of the selected breeds of dairy animals among the farm size category, education, and experience of the dairy farmers. The study was conducted in the central region of Bihar and primary data was collected from January March 2021, from 70 farmers in respect of the selected dairy animals using a pre structured interview schedule. Ease of rearing index was developed and the preference of the dairy farmers towards the selected dairy breeds was estimated. The key findings revealed that 55 per cent of farmers were marginal farmers and mostly preferred indigenous breeds like Graded Sahiwal and Graded Murrah. The farmers rearing Graded Sahiwal (67%) and Graded Murrah (69%) were having qualifications up to secondary education. Highly experienced farmers were rearing buffalo whereas Graded Sahiwal (67%) and crossbred (72%) animals were kept by farmers having experience less than or equal to 20 years. The ease of rearing index revealed that most of the farmers were preferring indigenous breed to rear because of its qualitative parameters. It can be concluded that farmers are having likeness towards indigenous breeds which needs to be promoted.

Lac is produced in different districts of Madhya Pradesh (MP), covering ten out of its eleven agro-climatic zones. This paper investigated the prospects of stakeholders from an assessment of the potential and performance of the state’s primary lac producing districts in Madhya Pradesh, India. Based on secondary data of lac production during Plans XI (2007-08 to 2011-12) and XII (2012-13 to 2016-17), data was evaluated crop by crop and district by district, and the trend was examined. Econometric measures, such as mean production, growth rate, and percent changes in mean value, were analyzed. Madhya Pradesh state that has contributed 13.66 per cent share during the XI plan has come down to 12.91 per cent during the XII plan. The state which recorded a negative growth rate to the extent of 30.15 per cent during the XI plan, reduced to 3.20 per cent during the XII plan. Chhindwara, Dindori and Mandla are the districts, which recorded decline growth during the XI plan but witnessed positive during the XII plan period. Data on crop-specific lac production were evaluated to determine less performing crops during these periods in the state. The state may initiate proper strategies to cope up with issues and problems of less performing districts.

Rural youths are the future of India’s progress in agriculture. In order to keep the interest of youths in agriculture and maintain their sustainable livelihoods, ICAR through its Agricultural Extension division has implemented Attracting and Retaining Youth in Agriculture (ARYA) programme through different identified KVKs in the country. Five KVKs from Odisha have been implementing this programme, out of which present research carried out in the Puri KVK in the year 2022, where the ARYA project has been focusing on four enterprises i.e., mushroom, poultry, apiary, fish production including fish seed with a total of 174 rural youths. After the implementation of ARYA, among the five enterprises promoted under ARYA, the performance of the mushroom enterprise gave the highest net income and highest average production. On the other hand benefit cost ratio was higher in fishery enterprises. Various economic performance indicators showed a positive and significant relation with the social profile of the rural youths. The implementation of programme brought the convergence of several institutions to render technical support to rural youth.

The study was aimed to identify the constraints associated with the adoption of soil health cards recommended by Mandan Bharti Agriculture College (MBAC), Agwanpur in Sattarkataiya block, Saharsa district, Bihar during 2017-2021. Two villages named Barahsher and Puroshottampur Purikh were selected based on the maximum card holders. 100 respondents from each village with Soil Health Card (SHC) were selected. A pretested and well-structured interview schedule was used to collect data, tabulate, and analyze the results. Major constraints faced by farmers were inadequate follow-up by extension agency (71%); soil samples not taken from each farmer’s field (59%), not getting SHC reports in time (57%), and not using of the recommended dose of fertilizers as per SHC recommendation (49%). While major suggestions that came out to tackle the mentioned constraints were that SHC should be issued prior to crop season (70%), Soil sampling laboratory should be established at Block level with highly qualified staff (61%), farmers should be trained to take soil samples (63%). and soil sampling should be based on hands on training of farmers (59%).

Productivity is the quintessential indicator of efficiency in any system. Research productivity is the work outcome of the scientists in the area of research in a given period of time. The present study was conducted to assess the level of research productivity among the agricultural scientists of PJTSAU in the year 2021. A sample of 120 agricultural scientists including Scientists, Senior Scientists and Principal Scientists with a minimum of 3 years of experience in research after 2014, when the university PJTSAU was formed due to bifurcation of the state, were selected for the study purposively. An index to compute research productivity was developed with six indicators- Publication behaviour, Research activities undertaken, Research guidance and Mentoring, Awards and Recognition, Technologies/Knowledge generated and Intellectual Property Rights generated and was standardized by testing its validity and reliability. The majority of agricultural scientists had medium research productivity (47.5%) followed by very low (15.83%), low (15.00%), high (15.00%) and very high (6.67%). The lowest research productivity index score was 0.11 while highest was 0.88 which indicates that there is a scope to increase productivity among the agricultural scientists with low research productivity.

Adequate and proper nutritious food is essential for essential for healthy lifestyle and good human health. Thus, promoting nutritious food among rural households is crucial for food and nutritional security. The study on ‘Nutrition Education for Enhancing Nutritional Security and Gender Empowerment’ was carried out for rural households in selected villages of Muzaffarnagar district in western Uttar Pradesh from 2014-15 to 2019-20. The data collected from 120 respondents revealed that more than 60 per cent school children (both boys and girls) and farm women were observed healthy with 61.67 per cent and 63.33 per cent, respectively with BMI score of 18.50 to 24.99 kg/m2. The food consumption pattern of rural households revealed that cent per cent children had a food consumption pattern of three meals per day followed by male adult (80.00%), pregnant women (63.33%). The study also revealed that more than half of the school children (58.34%) and farm women (65.00%) were found in medium level of awareness about food nutrition. The prevalence of underweight and obesity among school children and farm women was observed low.
