Bajra is the major food crop of Rajasthan. This millet can be grown in sandy soils under rainfed conditions and hence, assumes importance in the arid region of Rajasthan. This food grain crop is also grown abundantly in the arid tracts of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. It has multiple uses - besides being a staple food, its fodder is an important feed of the milch animals.The study was conducted in 8 FLD villages of three Panchayat Samities namely, Nagaur, Jayal and Mundwa Panchayat Samities of Nagaur district, adopted by the KVK, Nagaur were included and a sample of 100 beneficiary and 50 non-beneficiary farmers were selected purposively. It was found that majority of beneficiary (63%) farmers were having medium knowledge level, whereas 14 and 23 per cent farmers were having low and high knowledge level about recommended bajra production technology, respectively.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Bikaner district of Rajasthan. The National Food Security Mission is in operation in all six Panchayat samities of Bikaner district. Out of which fifty per cent Panchayat samities, i.e. three Panchayat samities Nokha, Lunkarnshar, Sri Dungargarh were selected purposely. Out of selected Panchayat samities three Gram Panchayats were selected randomly from each Panchayat samities on the basis of random sampling method. Thus, the total 9 villages were selected. To know the impact of National Food Security Mission, a control group of villages were also be required. Therefore, three distant villages where the National Food Security Mission was not in operation were also selected on the basis of random sampling technique from each identified Panchayat Samiti. 7 beneficiary and 7 non-beneficiary Gram respondents were selected randomly from each identified village. Thus, a total of 63 beneficiary respondents and 63 non-beneficiary Gram respondents were selected. The study revealed that lack of skill about application of chemicals, inadequate knowledge about soil treatment, unavailability of bio-fertilizers at village level, timely unavailability of seed minikits at local level, lack of skill about plant protection measures, lack of technology guidance at proper time, unavailability of plant protection equipments, improper knowledge of micro-nutrient application, nepotism and favoritism in distribution of minikits under NFSM and high cost of improved seeds, micro-nutrients, fungicides were important constraints.Keywords

Thus, a total of 63 beneficiary respondents and 63 non-beneficiary Gram respondents were selected. It was found that personal characteristics viz., age and economic motivation were not significantly associated with adoption of recommended interventions of moth. Education, size of land holding, income level, cosmopoliteness and extension contact were significantly associated with adoption of recommended interventions of moth. It means that there was significant effect of these personal variables on adoption of recommended interventions of moth.Keywords

Thus, a total of 63 beneficiary respondents and 63 non-beneficiary gram respondents. It was found that out of 126 respondents, 23 (18.25%) respondents in high farm profit group i.e. above Rs. 47197.05 moth crop per year. Whereas, 87 moth growers (69.05%) could be placed under medium level of farm profit group viz., ranging from Rs. 19422.53 to 47197.05 moth crop per year and 16 respondents (12.70%) were found in the low farm profit group upto Rs. 19422.53 moth crop per year from cultivation of moth crop.Keywords
