Contract farming as a form of organising agricultural production is fast gaining acceptance and popularity among agricultural policy planners as a viable and efficient route to increase agricultural production. In this environment, the role of extension needs to be reassessed to make it vibrant and relevant to the emerging challenges. This paper attempts to explore some dimensions of extension services which can be used to study and understand the extension service delivery process and methods. The extension services rendered under the contract farming show wide variation in scope, content and approach adopted for delivery. This can be studied based on some of the key attributes based on different criteria like nature of knowledge transferred, nature of technology dissemination, extension approach, the timing, frequency and place of service delivery etc. The provisions for supply of related services and pricing of extension services are other parameters on which different models of contract farming differ. Market orientation, client orientation, and economy of service orientation are three major changes that extension has to successfully negotiate in the emerging scenario. The challenge will be to refine the science of extension in a manner that will enable it to remain relevant and retain its utility in the changing agricultural scenario.- Socio-Economic Profile and Constraints Faced by Rice Farmers in Tribal Areas of Nalgonda District of Telangana

Majority of the farmers were of middle age group, illiterate, had small land holding and red soil type, bore as major irrigation source, low farming experience and medium family size. Majority of the tribal farmers had not taken any agricultural loans from Government agencies but had taken loan from informal sources i.e., neighbors. More than fifty per cent of the respondents had no membership in any agricultural society/ farmer groups, no leadership in any society and had not availed any subsidy on agricultural inputs and farm machinery. More than 62.73 per cent of the respondents had not insured their crop against natural calamities and crop failure. The gross returns obtained per hectare was Rs. 68006/-. The net returns per hectare was Rs. 14,223/- with a benefit cost ratio of 1.26. Non- availability and high charges of labour during the critical operations viz., transplanting and weeding, loss of crop yield due to pests and diseases were the major constraints ranked by the tribal farmers. Large scale awareness programmes need to be organized to motivate tribal farmers to avail crop subsidy, crop insurance and other benefits of government schemes specially being offered for tribal farmers to improve their socio-economic status.Keywords
