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.
