The rice (Oryza sativa) covers largest area in total grain production in Narmada district of Gujarat. One of the major constraints of low productivity of rice is lack of technical know how of newly generated technology among farmers. The present study named dissemination of improved production technologies of rice in Narmada district of Gujarat through front line demonstrations (FLD) and its impact assessment. A total of 101 front line demonstrations were conducted during 2008-09 to 2011-12 on area of 35.0 ha with the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the latest technology of rice production. The percentage increase in the yield over local check was 21.6 with higher gross return of 17212 Rs./ha, net return of 9567 Rs./ha and benefit cost ratio 2.7 as compared to local check (14034 Rs./ha, 7331 Rs./haand benefit cost ratio 2.5, respectively. By conduction of front line demonstrations on farmer's field there was significant increase in knowledge level of the farmers and majority of farmer's showed high level of satisfaction about demonstrated technologies.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during summer 2010 at Instructional farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat) on clayey soil to study the effect of phosphorus and bio-fertilizers on growth, yield and economics of green gram. Twelve treatments comprising all possible combinations of four levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 and three levels of bio-fertilizers viz., control, with liquid PSB (Phosphate solubilizing bacteria) inoculation and with liquid Rhizobium inoculation were tried in factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The result of the experiment indicated that application of 60 kg P2O5 /ha and seeds inoculated with Rhizobium significantly increased the growth parameters viz., plant height, branches per plant, dry weight of nodules, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation as well as yield attributes like number of pods per plant, grain yield per plant, stover yield and test weight. The significantly highest seed (1140 kg/ha) and stover (5890 kg/ha) yields recorded by application of 60 kg P2O5 /ha which was at par with 40 kg P2O5 /ha level. The highest seed yield (1100 kg/ha) was recorded by application of Rhizobium inoculation over liquid PSB inoculation and control.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011 seasons on seven year old Sharbati cultivar of peach, growing in clay loam soil. The experiment was laid out in randomized block designed to study the effect of foliar spraying of boron, zinc and iron and its combination on fruit growth pattern, yield and yield attributing characters of the low-chill peach. Boric acid (0.1%), zinc sulphate (0.5%) and ferrous sulphate (0.5%) were used as a source of boron, zinc and iron, respectively. All the trees were fertilized with same NPK dose as per recommendation. The spraying was done twice; during last week of February, i.e., after petal fall stage and again at 15 days after the first spraying during both years in three replicates. The result revealed that foliar spraying of peach trees with 0.1 % H3BO3 + 0.5 % ZnSO4, 7H2O + 0.5 % FeSO4, 7H2O was the promising treatment for improvement of fruit growth, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit volume and firmness of the fruit. This treatment was also found best for maximum fruit retention, average fruit weight as well as the fruit yield.Keywords

The rice (Oryza sativa) covers largest area in total grain production in Narmada district of Gujarat. One of the major constraints of low productivity of rice is lack of newly generated technology among farmers. A total of 54 front line demonstrations were conducted during 2012 to 2013 on area of 9.0 ha with the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the latest variety technology of rice production. The percentage increase in the yield over local check was 20.4 with higher gross return of 41805 Rs./ha, net return of 29359 Rs./ha and benefit cost ratio 3.4 as compared to local check (34752 Rs./ha, 22755 Rs./ha and benefit cost ratio 2.9, respectively).Keywords

The study was carried out during Kharif season of 2012 and 2013 in ten villages of Narmada district. In all 27 demonstrations on soybean crop were carried out in area of 10 ha with the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the latest technology of soybean production with suitable variety 'JS-335'. The results revealed that FLD recorded higher yield as compared to farmers practice over the years of study. The improved technology recorded average yield of 1666 kg/ha which was 17.8 per cent higher than that obtained with farmers practice of 1415 kg/ha. In spite of increase in yield of soybean, technological gap, extension gap and technology index existed which was 134, 251 kg/ha and 7.4 per cent, respectively. The improved technology gave higher gross return of 51614 Rs./ha, net return of 39386 Rs./ha with benefit cost ratio 4.2 as compared to local check (43846 Rs./ha, 31618 Rs./ha and benefit cost ratio 3.6, respectively).Keywords

The study was carried out during Kharif season of 2011, 2012 and 2013 in seven villages of Narmada district. In all 32 demonstrations on maize crop were carried out in area of 11.6 ha with the active participation of farmers with the objective to demonstrate the latest technology of maize production potential. The improved technology consisting of suitable variety 'Gujarat Maize 6'. The results revealed that FLD recorded higher yield as compared to farmers practice over the years of study. The improved variety recorded average yield of 1409 kg/ha which was 18.5 per cent higher than that obtained with farmers practice of 1189 kg/ ha. In spite of increase in yield of maize, technological gap, extension gap and technology index existed which was 1034, 219 kg/ha and 42.3 per cent, respectively. The improved variety gave higher gross return of 15030 Rs./ha, net return of 4031 Rs./ha with benefit cost ratio 1.4 as compared to local check (12688 Rs./ha, 2289 Rs./ha and benefit cost ratio 1.2).Keywords

Context: The Government of India had launched Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), in the year 2005, as a safe motherhood intervention to reduce maternal and infant mortality rate through better provision and utilisation of Mother and Child Health (MCH) services. Though the scheme was promising enough, its implementation and utilisation were not uniformly implemented across the country due to lack of awareness of the common people, accessibility of the health services and availability of funds.Aims: The present study was conducted to evaluate the operational mechanism of JSY and to assess the quality of services and perception of mothers regarding it.
Settings and Design: This was a rapid appraisal study conducted in four sub-centres, selected purposively, from two rural blocks of Haryana, a province of North India. The study design adopted was cross sectional.
Methods and Material: All the beneficiaries who received the benefits from 1.4.2009 to 31.3.2010 were enrolled in the study. The data were collected from beneficiaries regarding various aspects of JSY, using semi-structured schedule by carrying in-depth interviews, conducting house-to-house survey. Multi-purpose health workers - female (MPHW-F) of the sub-centres, accredited social health activist (ASHA) serving in the area and the concerned Medical Officer of the primary health centre (PHC) were also interviewed regarding implementation of JSY.
Results: Most of beneficiaries belonged to below poverty line (BPL) as well as schedule caste categories. Less than 15% of the beneficiaries received payment within one month. More than 80% of the beneficiaries got ≥ 2 ante-natal checkups, while post-natal checkups were received by less than 10%. More than two-third of the deliveries were still conducted at home.
Conclusion: More stress should be laid on the implementation of JSY in terms of place of delivery, provision of postnatal care and timely release of the monetary grants, so that the targeted objectives of this strategy can be achieved in a timely manner.
