Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) is the most effective tools which can be utilized to understand the technology adoption profit of the farming community and to get the first hand information about the needs, resources available, priorities, problems and prospects of the farming community. This process helps understanding the technology dissemination process, rural development activities, linkage mechanisms existing among research, training and extension, credit and input supply systems etc. (Jones, 1995). Highly productive/adoptive variety of moong like PDM 139 followed by K850 and Local variety in Table 5. Similarity, in Table 6 majority of production/ adoptive variety of paddy Pusa Sugandh 4 and 5 followed by Pro-Agro 6444, Kranti and Mahamaya and in Table 7 High productive/adoptive variety of wheat like PBW550 followed by PBW 343, Unnat halana and Local wheat variety. The major problems were non- availability of seed at time, imbalance use of fertilizers, problem of milk sale at higher rate, degradation in soil health day by day, lack of small scale industries centre for youth, insect-pest incidents, blast disease, weed infestation, non- availability of labour at time of potato digging, non- timely supply of water in canal, problem to wild animals and paddy transplanting and lack of establish ponds/watershed and rejuvenate.Keywords

Maintaining the stability of overburden dumps in opencast mines is a major challenge. Instability in dump slope occurs because of many inherent factors, cracks formed by mining activities, and natural climatic conditions etc. have been considered in this study. Numerical simulation of the dump slope has been performed using RS2 (Rocscience) software based on the finite element method (FEM). In simulation, the effect of cracks by considering the crack inclination, crack location from the crest of the dump slope, and effect of crack length and crack inclination at critical failure surface location has been analyzed. It has been found for the given conditions that cracks at a distance less than 7.5m from the crest of the slope for inclination 30° to 50° have the least stability and crack at critical failure surface location for inclination 40°, and 50° have a significant effect on the stability of the dump slope for all the considered crack length.Keywords
