Abstract

The Indian modern country is fast emerging as a global power but only for half of its population. The women across the country continuously struggle to live life with dignity. Eve teasing is a ridiculous form of enjoyment for men and a physical as well as mental torment for women. This is one of the daily problems women in Indian society face. Of all the forms that violence against women can assume, eve teasing is the most ubiquitous and insidious because it is considered normal behaviour and not an assault to females. This paper provides an analysis of the magnitude of eve teasing and its relation to socio-economic factors. It also examines women's responses to this type of violence. The study was conducted among 200 respondents in Hisar district of Haryana State through survey method. The findings of the study elucidate that majority of respondents are victim of teasing for twice or more time.

Abstract

After harvesting the paddy with a combine harvester equipped with a Super Seeder attachment, the Super Seeder machine's primary job is to simultaneously sow the wheat seed and plough standing paddy stubble into the ground. The study was conducted in Fatehabad district of Haryana state among 120 adopter and non-adopter farmers of Super Seeder farm technology. The study was carried out in the 4 blocks of the district namely Bhuna, Bhattu Kalan, Ratia, and Fatehabad. It was found that 45.83 percent of the total farmers were from 35+to 50 years of age category followed by 27.50 percent and 26.67 percent from above 50 years and up to 35 years respectively. Majority of the farmers i.e., 78.33 percent belonged to general caste whereas rest 21.67 percent were from backward class. Time taken by Super Seeder is 3.33h/ha whereas 15h/ha by conventional practices which means time saving by 77.8 % as reported by adopters. Saving of fuel, labour requirement, and cost of sowing disclosed is 60.71%, 77.8% and 53% respectively. Super Seeder found to be advantageous in saving of 6.38% of gross return from grains and 8.90% of gross return from straw leading to 7.22% of total gross return. Regarding the constraints in adoption of Super Seder farmers reported (Table 3) requirement of high hp tractor of 60-70 horse power (rank I), lack of technical knowledge (rank II), choking of machine while working (rank III), high cost or high custom charges (rank IV).
