Attitudinal and opinion change after involvement under technology assessment and refinement programme was studied in five villages of Karge Panchyat in Mandar Block of Ranchi district in Jharkhand, which revealed that demonstrating and experimenting farmers had relatively higher degree of positive attitude related to intervent technology in comparison to the participating farmers. The independents variables, namely, education, caste, socio-economic status and annual family income had positive and significant correlation with the attitude scores, while age was found to be negatively and significantly correlated. The findings on farmers' opinion on refinement of intervened technologies revealed that the refined technologies were found to be problem-solving, need-based and location-specific which were highly compatible with the farming systems components and household internal resources. Since the technologies were found to be profitable and appropriate for meeting the requirements of household food security they found favours and preferences by the respondents

Abstract


Attitudinal and opinion change after involvement under technology assessment and refinement programme was studied in five villages of Karge Panchyat in Mandar Block of Ranchi district in Jharkhand, which revealed that demonstrating and experimenting farmers had relatively higher degree of positive attitude related to intervent technology in comparison to the participating farmers. The independents variables, namely, education, caste, socio-economic status and annual family income had positive and significant correlation with the attitude scores, while age was found to be negatively and significantly correlated. The findings on farmers' opinion on refinement of intervened technologies revealed that the refined technologies were found to be problem-solving, need-based and location-specific which were highly compatible with the farming systems components and household internal resources. Since the technologies were found to be profitable and appropriate for meeting the requirements of household food security they found favours and preferences by the respondents
