Need for youths involvement and participation in the socio-economic, cultural and political environment of a country, in its development programmes, as well as in activities based on the youths specific needs, desires and aspirations facilitates the mobilization of the rural youths, in the age group of 13 to 35 years, towards goal of rural development. There are some attributes which affect the extent of involvement of rural youths in different activities of Nehru Yuva Kendra. This study was conducted by personally interviewing the 118 Nehru Yuva Kendra participating rural youth from randomly selected 9 villages of 3 panchjayat samities in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. It was found that the extent of involvement of rural youths in different activities of Nehru Yuva Kendra was significantly associated with their education level and social participation, whereas their socio-economic status and size of land holding was found non-significantly associated with their extent of involvement of rural youths in different activities of Nehru Yuva Kendra.Keywords

Proper economization of water would be advantageous to the farmers as well as it would be helpful in bringing the more land under cultivation. In order to use such a precious natural resource economically, drip irrigation would be a possible solution which minimizes the losses of water and fertilizer as well as increase the yield of crops resulting the more profit and quality of product. The present study was conducted in four Panchayat samities (out of six) in Bikaner district of Rajasthan. From the selected four Panchayat samities, a total of 234 respondent farmers having drip irrigation system were selected randomly for the study purpose. The data were collected by personal interview method with the help of interview schedule. Collected data were classified, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The findings of the study revealed that the area under vegetable cultivation was increased. The total gross cropped area (299 ha) and cropping intensity (20.25%) was increased. The per hectare expenditure on crop production was increased (Rs. 2999.00) after adoption of drip irrigation due to the area increased under vegetable cultivation and also fallow land utilized under such crops by the farmer. The per hectare gross income as well as net income of the farmers was increased, farmers incurred the additional expenditure (Rs. 27677.00) on education, food and clothes, house construction and maintenance, farm implements and mechanical power purchasing as well as social amenities also because of adoption of drip irrigation system. Since the farmers generated more income from their crop production, it was also observed that per hectare average yield of vegetable crops was increased significantly after the adoption of drip irrigation system which indicates the positive impact of drip irrigation system.Keywords

Recognized the fast decline of irrigation water potential and increasing demand for water from different sectors a number of demand management strategies and programme to save water and increase the existing water use efficiency in Indian Agriculture. In this changing agricultural scenario and a shift towards precision farming, drip irrigation happens to be the technology capable of providing more efficient utilization of water. The present investigation was conducted in four Panchayat samities of Bikaner district of Rajasthan. A total sample of 234 respondents was selected for the study purpose. The data were collected, classified, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The study revealed that most constraints like ‘clogging of drippers by suspended materials’ was (Technical constraint) perceived by 88.46 per cent farmers, ‘insufficient supply of electricity for irrigating fields’ was (Infrastructural constraint) expressed by 81.20 per cent farmers, ‘Initial installation cost is very high’ was (Financial constraint) perceived by 96.58 per cent farmers, ‘Inadequate awareness about the advantage of drip irrigation system’ was (Educational constraint) perceived by 81.62 per cent farmers and ‘unsuitable in the area where water is highly saline’ was (Climatic and geographical constraint) perceived by 68.80 per cent farmers in adoption of drip irrigation system.Keywords
