Abstract

The study was conducted for analysis of constraints and to obtain suggestions in transfer of technology. Abour 45.00 per cent of farm scientists expressed as non-availability of sufficient facilities for arrangement, was a moderately faced constraint. The constraint as non-availability of vehicles for transport was moderately faced by 45.00 per cent of APs and Asso. Prof./Professors followed by one third (33.00 per cent) of JRA/SRAs. The major suggestions, as provision of adequate funds and transport facility be made available, were stated by one half (50.00 per cent) and 45.00 per cent farm scientists in transfer of technology.

Abstract

Modernization of agriculture greatly depends on creation of farm technology, but full use of available technology is not being made in many areas of the country. The farm scientists viz., Junior Research Assistants, Senior Research Assistants, Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and Professors working at the Central Campus of the University, Agricultural Colleges, N.A.R.P. headquarters and main research stations under the jurisdiction of the university was the universe of the investigation. At overall level 73.00 per cent of farm scientists have sometimes used personal letters and majority (63.27 per cent) always used the self observation methods as individual source.The majority (64.00 per cent) of farm scientists always used group contact sources like discussion with colleagues and discussion with farmers and sometimes used training class, seminars/workshops/symposia and professional meetings.The print media viz ; extension publications, newspapers and research journals were always used by majority (70 per cent) of farm scientists.

Abstract

The study was an attempt to study the contribution of farm scientists in transfer of technology. The 226 farm scientists working in the cadre viz., JRA/SRAs, APs and Asso.Prof./Professors under the jurisdiction of MPKV were considered. The majority of farm scientists had medium level of contribution in transfer of technology followed by high level contribution. The majority of Asst.Prof./Profs. had participated in various extension activities followed by Assist. Professors and JRA/SRAs. The large majority (85.00 per cent) of farm scientists participated in farmers melawa followed by farm publications(65.00 per cent)and newspapers (69.00 per cent) for transfer of technology.
