To increase the productivity of Isabgol (Plantago ovata), high yielding isabgol variety RI 89 was evaluated at farmer's field during Rabi 2010-11. Thirty demonstrations were conducted at farmer's field at village Balera, Katarala, Rohilla, Bhilo ki Basti, Golia Jaitmal, Bhimda and Nand. Grain yield of Isabgol variety RI 89 under improved practices was 8.32q/ha increased significantly by 25 per cent over farmers practice (control). In terms of monitory return, the net gain per hectare was Rs. 28780/-and was Rs. 6500/-higher by investing additionally Rs. 2300/-. During this period extension activity like field days, farmer's trainings, literature, short messages services, diagnostic visits etc were undertaken which benefitted the farmers. With the improved package of practices fetched a higher B:C ratio of 2.25 while farmers practice gave 2.16. The yield range in improved practice was 4.85 q/ha-10.44 q/ha while under farmers practice it ranged from 4.05 q/ha to 8.28 q/ha. In improved package of practices, input supplied to farmers were improved seed, seed treatment chemicals and bio fertilizers particularly phosphate solubilizing bacteria. During crop period and after harvest the crop period the reaction of farmers about critical input supplied under demonstration was asked and they replied good seed germination and early maturity of the variety than local seeds. While the farmers suggested shattering tolerance varieties should be developed and major constrains was the unavailability of newly released seeds on time.Keywords

Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducted front line demonstration on Moong variety SML668/IPM02-03/RMG268/GM04 at farmers fields in district Barmer during years 2009-2014. The productivity and economic returns of Moong in demonstrated plots were calculated and compared with the corresponding local check. The data obtained was pooled for five years. It was observed that on an average 35.04 per cent higher grain yield was recorded in demonstration plots than the local check. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 1.67 q/ha, 1.436 q/ha and 22.818 q/ha, respectively. An additional investment of Rs. /ha coupled with scientific monitoring of demonstration and non-monetary factors resulted in additional return of Rs. 16576/ha over the farmers practices. Fluctuating minimum selling price of moong during different years influenced the economic returns per unit area.Keywords

In view of recent advancement in the agricultural technologies and more and more involvement of Krishak Mitra in agriculture, the role of Krishak Mitra is not just to educate the Krishak Mitra regarding agriculture technologies but they have to pay equal attention towards dissemination of agro-based technologies for the socio-economic upliftment of the rural families. For this, it is imperative that the women functionaries should have through knowledge in agriculture and allied areas. Keeping this in view a 5 days training on agricultural technology for Krishak Mitra was organized at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Barmer in collaboration with ATMA, Barmer.Keywords

Women participate in every area of sheep husbandry. More specifically, their participation was high in areas like management of sheep, cleaning and management of sheep, health care, preparation of feeds and feeding and low in areas like construction of sheep yard, breeding and purchasing and procurement of feeds. The study showed that the women need more training in selection of sheep, management of sheep, health care, and cleaning and management of sheep. They preferred training of 2-3 days duration in their home village during the period January to April. Lack of time, inadequate compensation, venue and lack of awareness about training programmes were some of the constraints they faced in attending training courses. Therefore, training programmes may be arranged and conducted based on the needs of the women to enhance their knowledge and confidence in sheep rearing.Keywords

The women’s contribution in the farming sector with respect to participation and decision making has largely been ignored. Though women performed more than four-fifth of agricultural work, their decision were accepted less than one-third of the case. The objective of present study were to find out women and their role in farming decision. The present study was conducted in Barmer district of Rajasthan. There are 3 block namely Barmer, Sheo, Chohtan. Forty women from each block were selected randomly thus making a total sample of 120 were interviewed with structure interviewed schedule. Results revealed that the male member of the family participated in decision making process of farm activities. This is not surprising because the joint family system is still prevalent where women have no role to play in decision making. In case of selection of seeds, quality of seeds, type of pesticide, time of harvesting, vaccination, calving of animals, foods of animals, maintenance of agricultural equipment, applying fertilizer, all decision were taken by elder person of the family. In all these cases women’s decision was almost negligible. Further, more than 50 per cent of decision in the area of home science were taken by the women such as preservation of fruits and vegetables, food to be cooked, income of the family, saving in the family and child care practices. Further it showed that although women earned and saved the money by working in the field but their decisions were still centered to the kitchen only. It was also concluded that in financial matter, the involvement of women was less.Keywords

Empowerment is the main process of social development which can enable women to participate, in the economic, political and social sustainable development of the rural communities. Today the empowerment of women has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century but practically women empowerment is still an illusion of reality. Empowerment of women is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones in the society. We observe in our day to day life how women become victimized by various social evils. Women Empowerment is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. It is the process of guarding them against all forms of violence. The study is based on purely from secondary sources. The present study was an attempt to know utilization of these programmes by rural home-makers. The study was conducted in 50 rural households of two villages selected from one block of Barmer district. The results revealed that few respondents (9.0 %) were aware of the year of women empowerment as well as various empowerment programmes. (11.7%) home-makers who were aware of Ujjawala (10.0) and MNAREGA (47.0), respectively. However, 15.0 per cent women started using women friendly technologies in their households for drudgery reduction and hence, improving their quality of life. Further, only 3.0 per cent of the respondents was making use of credit facilities for starting their own enterprise to supplement family income as they were completely ignorant about various schemes. Schemes like Widow Pension Scheme, Maternity Benefits and Girl Child Benefits were fully utilized as these provide direct economic gains.Keywords
