From each Krishi Vigyan Kendra adopted villages, 10 farmers were selected randomly after receiving its beneficiaries list from Krishi Vigyan Kendra and 10 each from non-adopted villages, each total to the tune 40+40=80. Ex-post facto research design was used for the study. The finding of study revealed that, the majority of beneficiaries had higher annual income 92.5 per cent (Kulkarni, 2009), more social participation 57.5 per cent, more market orientation 87.5 per cent, high risk orientation 72.5 per cent than the non-beneficiaries. It was also observed that there was no difference in respect of farming experience between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries i.e.72.50 per cent (Kulkarni, 2009). While it was observed that non-beneficiaries were found more educated 30 per cent than beneficiaries. Non-beneficiaries had more land holding 22.50 per cent than beneficiaries 2.50 per cent. As regard the dependent variable, majority of the beneficiaries 80.00 per cent had more impact of KVK programme than non-beneficiaries 62.50 per cent. The study revealed that, the independent variables namely education, land holding, annual income, farming experience, market orientation was found positive and significant with the impact of KVK programme at 0.05 per cent level of probability. Whereas the independent variabers namely social participation and extension contact was found positively and significant relationship with the impact of KVK programme at 0.01 per cent level of probability. The variable risk orientation was non-significant to impact.Keywords

The present study was conducted mainly with the specific objective to study. For the study Amravati district was selected and from this district four tahsils selected, from this tahsils five villages selected and from each village four beneficiaries were selected on the basis of maximum number of farm pond. For this study 80 respondents are selected. Ex-post facto research design was used for the research study. It was noticed that, 47.5 per cent respondents were educated upto middle school level, half 51.25 per cent of the respondents were having semi medium land holding, majority 75.00 per cent of the respondents had medium farming experience, majority 53.75 per cent of the respondents had low area under irrigation, majority 73.75 per cent of the respondents had medium family size, majority 65.00 per cent of the respondents had low social participation, most 66.25 per cent of the farmers medium extension contact, half of the respondents i.e. 47.5 per cent had medium economic motivation, half of the respondents i.e. 61.25 per cent were having medium risk preferences. The independent variables namely land holding, area under irrigation, family size, extension contact, risk preferences are positively and highly significant with impact of the farm pond beneficiaries at 0.01 level of probability. The variables namely education, farming experience, economic motivation are significantly correlated with impact of the farm pond beneficiaries at 0.05 level of probability. Whereas, social participation showed non-significant relationship with farm pond beneficiaries.Keywords
