Gender equality and empowerment of women is recognized globally as a key element to achieve progress in all spheres of life. Democratic decentralization is the best bet for good governance. The efficient functioning and desired goals of PRI are not possible without active participation of women representatives in different development activities and decision making process. It is the need of the hour to examine the knowledge of women representatives in PRIs despite the socio-economic constraints. The present study was undertaken to know the association of income and occupation with knowledge level of elected women in gram panchayat activities. The present study was undertaken in purposively selected Panchkula and Mewat districts of Haryana state having the highest and the lowest female literacy status, respectively. A sample of 160 respondents consisting of 80 respondents from each district was taken. Income and occupation are important indicators of economic and social position of an individual in the society. While categorizing the respondents according to their income, the contention of government to estimate the income for BPL was taken into account and it was operationalized as low (upto Rs. 27000), medium (27001-150000) and high income group (about Rs. 150000). Occupation was divided into four main categories viz; farming, agricultural and skilled labour, professional or businessman and any other work. The socioeconomic profile of respondents indicated that majority of them were from middle age, illiterate or primary school educated, married, belonging to backward class, joint family, farming, medium income group and low to medium mass media exposure. The result indicated a significant association between income levels of elected women members with their knowledge level. More number of respondents from high income group was having high knowledge of administrative and economic activities (62.00%), social activities (72.00%), political activities (80.00%) and public and civic amenities (62.00%). A significant association was also found between occupation and knowledge level of respondents about different Gram Panchayat activities as indicating that more than 80 percent respondents from professional and business class were having high knowledge level of different activities except agriculture, health and sanitation and judicial activities. Similarly respondents from other works like hawkers, small shops in village, domestic helpers were having high knowledge about different activities of Gram Panchayat.Keywords

In past the adoption of mechanization in farm was started due to the green revolution, then government want to fulfill the demand of food grains of population. But now the dimensions are changed from last few decades' policies for farm, research and development, trade, training and education has been strong impact on the adoption of technology, the level of farm production and agricultural practices. It is recognized fact that improved modern inputs and machinery are major determinants of farm output, yet it is important to interpret the relationship of mechanization with other social and economic factors. Study also concluded the crop wise adoption of mechanization, farm machinery, major driving forces in social change, participation of women in farm, agribusiness, cost and the labor employed in the farm sector. The paper also recommends suggestions, to ensure that the farm sector takes its rightful place in our economy.Keywords

The reviewed paper explains about aggregate of the residue's genesis from different crops, usage in-field and outfield, reason of flaming and managing crop residue with conservation of agriculture and alternative strategies. This paper also discusses the available agriculture machinery to manage the several type of residues in-situ and ex-situ. Management of crop residue has emerged to be a big issue in northern states of India, subsequently farmers choose inflame the residues. Management of residue is important because it carry plant nutritious that enhance the topsoil fertility capacity. Flaming residue affect nature and also deficit of scrumptious number of plant exigent nutrients. The issue of on farm burning of stubbles is sharpen in recent years due to lack of labour, combine harvester and huge capital loss in removing the stubbles by traditional ways, The residues of sugarcane, rice, mustard, maize, cotton, groundnut, jute, and millet are normally inflamed on-farm by various provenience of the India. This hurdle is more vital in the northern and western states where the wheat-rice system is mechanized. It is necessary to create consciousness among cultivators and farm societies to know the value of management of residues for resilience & sustainability of Indian agriculture.Keywords

This study examines the nature and extent of women employment in rural areas. In the contemporary world, women's role is not essentially limited to household chores and farm activities. Over the past decades, globally there is a substantial rise in rate of women education and employment but the proportion of Indian women in work has been declining. This is due to the role of women in home production. Indian women particularly in rural areas, have to play multiple roles such as a participant in labour force for supplementing family income and in addition they have a central role in food chain activities. A survey was carried out to assess the nature and extent of 120 women engaged in four major types of occupations in rural areas of Hisar and Panchkula districts of Haryana. Nature of job, duty hours, wage amount, physical status of job and wage act knowledge were found to be highly significant with the type of employment. Data collected exhibited that all the labourers had a temporary nature of their job contrary to that 10% of the government employees were permanent at their job. More than three fifth of the respondents were earning less than Rs.10, 000 per month whereas only 8.3% respondents were earning more than Rs.30, 000 per month. Out of all the respondents, only 35% had full knowledge of wage act rest had partial or no knowledge. It's very important to enhance the women's work participation in productive employment also additional work burden requires support such as child care facilities to ease other domestic responsibilities which remains with women.Keywords

Migration is defined as the movement of people from one place to another. As the world has progressed in leaps and bounds, migration also has certain changes connoted with it. Earlier, the movement was way simpler with all the intermediaries involved whereas now it has become gender and season specific. The related factors, consequences and impact of migration form the essence of the phenomenon. The following paper is a step to interrogate and review migration from a sociological standpoint. The work is intended to ascertain the nuances related to migration and its comprehensive effect of it on the families involved.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

Media is unquestionably a very large and effective form of communication. The growth of India's rural youth is significantly influenced by social media. India's rural areas are most important part of India because 70 percent of the country's people reside in villages. The study was conducted in rural areas of 2 cultural zones Nardak and Bagar of Haryana purposively. The study was conducted in the Hisar and Karnal districts of Haryana State. Distraction and stress were ranked first and second, respectively, in terms of the effects of social media on several facets of mental health. The results also showed that more than 40% of respondents reported both a severe and moderate level of social media's impact on stress and distraction. It revealed that the majority of the respondents (70%) reported that a lack of interaction with neighbours and relatives affected their social health and scored first. Further results showed that more than 55 percent of the respondents reported that a lack of interaction with teachers and parents also affected social health. A low degree of impact on all aspects of health was experienced by 38.61 percent of respondents, followed by a medium level of impact by 19.44 percent.Keywords

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).Keywords
