India is the second leading producer of rice in the entire world, preceded by China. Rice remains a staple food for the majority of the world's population. More than two-thirds of the world relies on the nutritional benefits of rice. Rice is naturally fat, cholesterol and sodium free. It is a complex carbohydrate containing only 103 calories per one half- cup serving. Rice is primarily a high energy or high calorie food. It contains less protein than wheat. The protein content of rice is usually 6 to 7 per cent. In Rajasthan rice is grown on an area of 131126 Lakh hectares with a production of 265545 lakh tones (Anonymous, 2010-11). The major rice growing districts in Rajasthan are Banswara, Dungarpur, Kota, Bundi, Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh. The present study was conducted in Dungarpur district of Southern Rajasthan. There are total four tehsils in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan, out of which two tehsil namely Simalwara and Dungarpur have been selected on the basis of maximum area under cultivation of rice. Five villages from each identified tehsil were selected on the basis of maximum area under rice cultivation. Thus, in all 10 villages were selected for present investigation. For selection of respondents total 120 rice growers (60 small and 60 marginal farmers) were selected on the basis of random sampling method from the identified villages for the present study. It was found that personal characteristics viz., age, education, family income, size of land holding, extension contacts, cosmopolitan outlook and economic motivation were not significantly associated with adoption of improved rice production technology. It means that there was no effect of these personal variables on adoption of improved rice production technology.Keywords
Improved Rice Production, Economic Motivation, Cosmopolitan Outlook.

The present study was conducted in Banswara and Udaipur district of Southern Rajasthan. Total 80 gram beneficiary farmers were selected on the basis of random sampling method from the identified districts. The study revealed that lack of skill about application of chemicals, timely nonavailability of seed minikits of gram at village level, inadequate knowledge about soil treatments were major constraints perceived by the beneficiary gram growers in the study area.Keywords

The present research paper is based on the formative evaluation of NAIP with special reference to irrigation water management in wheat cultivation in Banswara district of Southern Rajasthan. The consortia project of NAIP was executed disadvantaged NAIP in four tribal districts namely, Udaipur, Banswara, Dungarpur and Sirohi. Banswara district was selected for the investigation based on maximum households covered under the project. In Banswara district there are four Panchayat Samities viz., Talwara, Ghatol, Garhi and Kushalgarh. Talwara Panchayat Samiti was selected for the study. One Panchayat Samiti viz., Talwara was selected for the study. In Telwara Panchayat Samiti four Gram Panchayat viz., Talwara, Ghatol, Garhi and Kushalgarh were taken as such, for the present study and considered as beneficiaries. For the comparison between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries farmers four Gram Panchayat were considered for the sample study. This sample of 19 beneficiaries each from every beneficiary village and similar size of sample of non-beneficiaries (19) from each of the non-beneficiary villages constituted total size of sample i.e. 152. Alarming findings indicated that almost similar number of beneficiaries (Bs) and non-beneficiaries (NBs) fell under higher level of adoption about irrigation water management (IWM) in wheat. Adverse impact of NAIP with regards to IWM interventions introduced was noticed since, beneficiaries respondents 50 (65.79 %) expressed slightly higher adoption of IWM as compared with those of non-beneficiaries 42 (55.27 %). Data also show that 16 (21.06 %) beneficiaries and 30 (39.47 %) non-beneficiaries belonged to medium level of adoption of IWM. Furthermore, that is booting, tillering and milking stages at first priority (MPS 85.65 %) followed by irrigation in crop at CRI stage (tillering and flowering stages) ranked as second (MPS 82.15). At the same time it was also observed that out of seven intervention of IWM, the beneficiaries farmers visualized comparatively more adoption of IWM sub intervention viz., irrigation after 21 days of sowing, irrigation at CRI and flowering stages and providing at least 450-650mm irrigation water in wheat crop.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Banswara and Udaipur districts of Southern Rajasthan. Total 120 urd beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers were selected on the basis of random sampling method from the identified districts. The study reveals that out of 120 respondents, 51 (42.50 %) respondents in high farm profit group i.e. above Rs.21500/year. Whereas, 47 urd growers (39.17 %) could be placed under medium level of farm profit group viz., ranging from Rs.18000 to 21500/year and 22 respondents (18.33 %) were found in the low farm profit group upto Rs. 18000/year.Keywords
