An attempt was made in this study to know the value orientation of Lambani women towards scientific farming, girls education and family planning and association between value orientation and selected independent variables, considering 200 randomly selected Lambani women in Shirahatti and Ranebennur Talukas of Haveri district. A vast majority of Lambani women had higher value orientation towards scientific farming. Whereas, majority had low value orientation with respect to family planning and girls education.

Improvement of rainfed farming is key to development of agriculture and removal of poverty. To increase the production and productivity from dry land areas, the Government of India launched NWDPRA in different parts of the country including Karnataka. This was also implemented in Haveri district, demonstrating different soil conservation practices in different villages. Demonstrations were mainly conducted in major crops of the area like sorghum, groundnut, pulses, chillies and cotton. The study was conducted in Kadkol watershed of Karnataka. New crop varieties were introduced along with watershed treatment in different crops. Different soil conservation measures like contour bands, vegetative barriers, rubble check and contour cultivation had given more yields compared to conventional practices with local varieties. The farmers were also convinced to a great extent.Keywords

Pearl millet is predominantly cultivated as a rainfed crop in diverse soils and climate. It is a drought and heat tolerant crop among cereal crops. It has the highest water use efficiency under drought stress. The features associated with cultivation of this crop are low value status, adoption to poor resource base production and consumption of poorer section of the society. In northern Karnataka, Bijapur district stands for highest area and production. The study revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to the medium level of knowledge as this crop grown with the long experience of farmers and cultivation practices being simple and easy to adopt.
