CONSTRAINTS FACED BY THE EXTENSION PERSONNEL IN TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGIES

Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 13

Abstract

The study was conducted in Kolhapur district of Maharashtra State to find out the constraints faced by the extension personnel in transfer of technologies and to know the suggestions for the improvement of their work performance. For the study 96 Agricultural Assistants were selected as respondents. A total of 67 constraints were listed down and measured the severeness on a three point continuum. They were also requested to give their valuable suggestions to overcome the constraints successfully and the frequency and percentage of each suggestion was worked out to identify the major suggestions of the respondents. It was observed that Agricultural Assistants were faced most severe constraints in Input supply, Administrative aspects, Social constraints and General constraints. Results also revealed that majority of Agricultural Assistants were facing medium level of constraints. A large majority of the Agricultural Assistants suggested to provide training on advanced technologies.
