Abstract

For the study, Udgir tehsil of Latur district was selected and from five villages in all ninety cattle tail-hair producers were selected. Data pertained for the year 2007-08. The results revealed that mostly cattle tail-hair producers were from middle age group with education level up to Secondary School. Mostly herd size of cattle was low in the study area. Intensively, cattle tail- hair rope was used for seed drill and offspring’s palana. Lack of skill of industrial products of cattle tail-hair can be solved by training to youth on manufactured products. All the suggestions can be considered in policy making for solving the problems of cattle tail-hair producers.

Keeping the above objectives in mind 20 villages from above mentioned blocks were selected for the study. The 6 Grampanchayat members were selected randomly from each of the villages (3 from backward section and 3 from forward section) for the study by positional approach method. Thus the sample of 120 Gram Panchavat members from 20 villages was selected for the study. Data were collected by personally interviewing the respondents with the help of specially designed and pretested interview schedule. From the study it is found that majority of the Gram Panchayat members belonging to backward section as well as forward section had medium role performance about functioning of Gram panchayat. Regarding relational analysis it was found that the characteristics of Gram Panchayat members namely education, occupation, annual income, social participation, achievement motivation, mass media exposure, cosmopoliteness, leadership background and leadership experience were positively and significantly related with role performance of Grampanchayat members.
