The study was undertaken among 120 Stree Shakthi Programme (SSP) beneficiaries to identify the constraints faced by them and suggestions to improve its functioning. The findings revealed that majority of beneficiaries expressed poor marketing network for their products (95.48%), followed by delay in getting loans (95%) and requires more number of visits to avail loan in the bank (91.67%). With respect to the suggestions to improve the functioning of SSP were assured market for their products (100%), provide loans at lower interest rate(100%), organize more training programmes on value addition (97.50%) and provide proper place for market (95.48%). Hence, the concerned agencies should establish marketing terminals at local level and advance the loans in short time to enhance the rural women empowerment.Keywords

The study was conducted in the purposively selected two taluks of Chitradurga district based on maximum number of Stree Shakthi Groups (SSG's). From each taluka, 12 SSG's and five members from each SSG's were selected randomly thus, making a total sample of 120. The results revealed that majority of respondents belonged to young age, high level of education, nuclear family, agriculture as main occupation, high social participation, high extension participation, high mass media exposure, had income up to Rs.20,000/- and medium livestock possession. Hence, it can be concluded that strategic manipulation of these variables of SSP beneficiaries through extension educational activities can motivate them to avail the benefits of the women empowerment programme.Keywords

The study was conducted in two taluks of Kolar district in Karnataka state. From each taluk three prominent sericulture villages were purposively selected. A sample of 120 sericulturists and from each village 20 sericulturists were selected by simple random technique. The findings revealed that the most utilized seri-byproducts namely, fodder (3 mean score), fuel (3), compost (2.73), biogas (1.83), timber wood (1.55), fruit (1.34), vermicompost (1.33) and mulberry tea (1.00) were in the order of preference. Fodder and fuel were most frequently utilized as seri-byproduct by cent per cent of the respondents followed by compost (84.17%). Correlation analysis between overall utilization pattern of seri-byproducts and various independent variables of the respondents exhibited positive and significant relationship with educational status, farm size, annual farm income, experience in seri-farming, silkworm rearing intensity, extension contact and livestock possession. Hence, various extension educational activities could be taken up by the extension agencies to educate the sericulturists about proper utilization of seri-byproducts which will in turn generate employment and additional income.Keywords

The study was conducted purposively in selected three taluks of Kolar. The study revealed that cent per cent of the mulberry cultivators perceived organic manures as more useful, followed by composting of organic wastes (96.67%), organic mulches and green manures (81.67%) and intercropping (75.83%). Cent per cent of the farmers completely adopted organic manures, followed by composting of organic wastes (95.83%) and intercropping (73.33%). Majority of the mulberry cultivators have not adopted vermicompost (70.83%) and bio-fertilizers (65.83%). Out of seven characteristics selected for the study, five viz., education, land holding, social participation, risk orientation and decision making ability had significant relationship with perception and adoption. Besides this, innovative proneness had significant relationship with perception. Thus, it is necessary to intensify the extension educational programmes such as trainings, discussion meetings, demonstrations, field visits etc., for needed perceptual changes in mulberry cultivators. This will enable the farmers to adopt organic farming practices which inturn will help in the production of quality cocoons and pollution free environment.Keywords
