Zero tillage is also called No-tillage or direct sowing. It is a way of growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage. Zero-tillage cultivation is a farming practice that reduces cost of land preparation and irrigation. The current study was undertaken in rice growing rural area of Kaithal district to analyse the socio-economic impact and constraints of this technology. Finally, 100 respondents were selected from field of the study through systematic random sampling technique. Analysis clearly revealed that socio-economic benefits lead to many social effects like increased social mobility, expenditure on social events, improvement in socio-economic status, water saving, energy and fuel saving, increased profit and income etc.Keywords

Gender equality and empowerment of women is recognized globally as a key element to achieve progress in all spheres of life. Democratic decentralization is best bet for good governance. The present investigation was undertaken to study the constraints and suggestions to promote women participation in Gram Panchayat activities. The study was conducted in two districts of Haryana state having highest and lowest female literacy status i.e. Panchkula and Mewat, respectively. Adopting random sampling techniques villages from each sample block were selected. Ultimate stage of sampling constituted the selection of respondents which in the present study were women sarpanches and Panches (Panchayat members). Since the number of such respondents in each of the sample villages was very small (4-6 depending on size of Panchayat), all the members from each village were taken into sample. Thus the ultimate sample taken was of 160 respondents consisting of 80 respondents from each district. Different descriptive statistics were computed using SPSS statistical package. Activities of Gram Panchyat refers to the activities undertaken by Gram Panchayats such as meetings held, management of budget, its utilization, and works related to agriculture sanitation, construction and maintenance, education, drinking water, farm forestry, administration, fisheries etc. Majority of respondents were having no knowledge about most of structural aspects of panchayat but were having full knowledge and involvement in social activities, educational, political, public work and civic amenities and health and sanitation. Literacy advanced area had clear and positive effect on knowledge level of elected women representatives about structural and functional activities. Younger age respondents were having high knowledge level about most of panchayat activities, structural aspects and decision making. Significant association of income and occupation with knowledge level of women members was observed.Keywords

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. In educational institutions a significant number of respondents faced both oral and physical type of teasing.Keywords

The study was conducted in Haryana state. The sample of 400 debted respondents was selected from eight villages of two districts i.e. Karnal and Bhiwani through systematic random sampling technique. The loan waiving scheme primarily aimed at providing relief to small and marginal farmers indebted to formal agencies, by writing off their farm loans taken between 1 April, 1997 and 31 March, 2007, which were overdue as on 31 December 2007 and unpaid till 29 February, 2008. Analysis revealed that only 21.00% (out of 400) respondents availed loan waiving scheme under one time settlement. Only 10.50% of the respondents got benefit of one time settlement scheme and received the amount in between Rs. 10,000/--30000/-. Regarding socio-economic changes experienced by respondents after availing amount from loan waiving scheme under one time settlement analysis revealed that hundred percent of the respondents felt free from psychological problems. On an average Rs. 6742.00 was waived off under one time settlement of loan waiving scheme.Keywords

Every advance in technology brings a change in the social environment to which man has to adopt in the form of modification of customs and traditions. A massive range of ladies is running in agriculture and acting strenuous duties. The majority of the rural and allied sports have been perceived as tough to carry out by the farm ladies. Drudgery-decreasing gear and devices are proved to be a boon for farm ladies. These gear and devices decreased the drudgery of farm ladies in addition to multiplying their performance and painting output. Working in higher postures additionally reduced the superiority of musculoskeletal issues amongst farm ladies. Technological improvements have been the motive at the back of the drastic modifications in all spheres of ladies' existence. Women have the capacity to mold themselves in keeping with each situation; she has to satisfy all of the necessities in their day-by-day existence. Technological gear reduced the workload of ladies. The power load dropping has no far-accomplishing consequences on ladies' lives inside the village. The technological development and agricultural home equipment inside the village have decreased the exertions of each lady and men and multiplied the productiveness that leads the village in the direction of prosperity and development. To study the adoption of drudgery technology by farm women, it is necessary to study the awareness and perception of women. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the perception of rural women about drudgery reducing technology. The study was conducted in two cultural zones, Hisar from Bagar and Mahandragarh from Ahirwal zone were selected. The study was conducted on 320 rural farm women who were selected randomly from Hisar I, Hisar II and Mahandragarh, Kanina Blocks.It was found that on average 22.2 percent of respondents were having a high level of perception about drudgery reducing technologies whereas 73.1 percent were having moderate and 4.7 percent were having alow level of perception.Keywords

The investigation was carried out during 2020-21 in North west Kaithal district of Haryana state among 120 farmers. The study aimed to investigate the nature and extent of level of adoption along with factors associated with adoption of Super straw Management System (SMS) among farmers and reasons for adoption and non adoption of SMS. Socio-economic impact of SMS on adoption was also acknowledged. Results revealed that 2/5th of the farmers (40.00%) had low level of adoption while 33.33% had medium and rest (26.67%) of the farmers had greater level of the acceptance of SMS. Age, degree of education, amount of land holding, income, social organisation, participation, and SES were all socioeconomic characteristics that were strongly associated with adoption level. Reasons for adoption of SMS by overwhelming majority of the farmers (85.00%) that SMS system attached to combine harvesters enables the machine to cut the straw in small pieces and distribute it behind it regularly on the field. Regarding other benefits near about 3/5th of the farmers were agreed that it increases average yield of wheat by 2-4% as compared to conventional practices while some of the reasons for non adoption of Super straw management system, 86.67% of the farmers were agreed that high power requirement, i.e., 8-10 hp is required as compared to conventional combine harvester and 60% of the farmers reported that approximate 6 litres of extra fuel consumption with combine harvester is required. Farmers reported an increase in mass media exposure (71.67 percent), urban contacts/movement (63.33 percent), social mobility pattern (58.33 percent), and extension contacts (53.33 percent), etc. as the overall socioeconomic impact of SMS adoption Allover adoption of SMS is a beneficial environment friendly agricultural farm technology.Keywords

Custom Hiring Centres of agricultural machinery are very helpful for the farming community to increase the net income of the farmers by way of reducing the cost of cultivation at each and every stage of crop growth in a timely manner. From a socio-economic perspective, the different farm implements such as transplanter, multi-crop thresher, combine harvester and baler had been bought by the custom hiring centre owners as additional equipment on need-based through the income generation by operating the custom hiring centres. Further, it has been noted that custom hiring centres play an important role in water conservation strategies, developmental, sustainability and environmental issues. The study was conducted in wet and dry agro-climatic zones of Haryana on sixty custom hiring centes. It was found that overwhelming majority of the farmers (87.67%) increased the size of contractual landholding after the adoption of custom hiring centres. Majority of the farmers were also saving the seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. As per study, the farmers (61.67%) were also facing the problem of the high cost of farm implements followed by lack of service and maintenance support for machinery (56.67%) and non-availability of machines at peak times in the rabi and kharif seasons (50.00%). It was also suggested that people should be encouraged to adopt custom hiring centres and reduce the production cost.Keywords
