Rajasthan, one of the major rapeseed and mustard producing states in India, predominantly cultivate Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The present study conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan reveals that per hectare marketed surplus was found out to be highest (2212.50 q) on medium farms, followed by 1142.80 q and 145.50 q on small and marginal farm, as the marketed surplus was higher than marketable surplus for all size group of farmers. Two marketing channels were identified viz., channel I: Producer-Consumer and channel II: Producer-Retailer-Consumer.

: Study was conducted in both the implementing districts viz., Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao of NERCORMP in Assam during 2014-15 by taking 204 respondents. Study revealed that for almost all the assets, respondents' possession percentage as well as average number asset per household remained higher in case of beneficiary respondents in comparison to non-beneficiary respondents. Because of the project intervention, overall area under crops like Panikheti, plantation crops, banana, orange, areca nut etc. increased significantly, whereas number of households practising 'Jhuming' as a viable livelihood management strategy declined. Among the beneficiary respondents, average income per household per year recorded much higher, as compared non-beneficiary respondents. Similarly, expenditure also remained more among the beneficiary respondents than nonbeneficiary respondents. After intervention of NERCORMP, status of creation of assets viz., human asset, physical asset, social asset and food security asset increased significantly that finally led to significant increase of overall asset position for respondent beneficiaries. Most of independent variables considered here maintained non-significant relationship with creation of any of the asset in the study area.
