“…The outcomes of the study are in line with Kafura et al, (2016) & Panda et al, (2019 who reported that level of education had a positive and significant relationship with the extent of use of different ICT tools by the farmers, while age showed a negative relationship. The findings are consistent with the reports of Chakraborty et al, (2000) about ICT utilization who found a strong and positive correlation between the variables education and economic motive.…”

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture refers to the process of making available ICTs to assist, enhance, and optimise the dissemination of knowledge among the farmers. This study was conducted during 2018-19 in Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Due to the district’s significant area under rice cultivation, Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh was chosen as the location of the research. For the sampling a total of 120 farmers, from five villages were selected randomly by using proportionate random sampling technique. ICT utilization among the farmers was the maximum and 45.83 per cent respondents were using ICT tools to a medium extent, and the mobile was the most utilized ICT tool, ranking first with a mean score value of 6.99. In contrast to age, caste, family type, social involvement, and material ownership, this showed non-significant and negative correlations with the extent to which ICT tools were used. The variable ‘education’ had a very significant and positive correlation with the use of ICT tools that mainly effect the utilization of ICT tools 19. The utilization extent of ICT tools was satisfactory but still there was need of awareness and educational programmes to be introduced in study area.

“…Trained unemployed youth could practice scientific farming of sheep and goats for livelihood security (Verma et al, 2021). Crop-based rural enterprises can also support rural livelihoods of tribal women when promoted with adequate planning and participation (Pal et al, 2017;Dagar & Upadhyay, 2022). Below average employment generation was recorded in bee keeping, poultry, processing and value addition, mushroom enterprises and least employment generation in vermicompost (355 man-days) enterprises.…”

Attracting and retaining youth in agriculture (ARYA) is a national programme of Indian Council of Agricultural Research implemented through Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) since 2016-17. The present investigation was carried out in 2021-22 with a total of 684 rural youth, randomly identified from among the functional units under various enterprises. Among the nine major enterprises promoted under ARYA, performance of poultry units were better in terms of operational duration and total turnover per enterprise despite incurring higher expenditure. Nursery enterprises showed the highest net income per unit and also created maximum assets. On the other hand, benefit-cost ratio was higher in piggery enterprises and per day net income was highest in processing and value addition units. More employment generation was recorded in fish and goat farming enterprises. The results indicated that each of the agri business areas have strengths on different parameters. Besides the choice of enterprises that are locally viable, the entrepreneurial competency of the entrepreneurs was essential to sustain the enterprises. Successful entrepreneurship promotion has the possibilities for attracting and retaining youth in rural areas through technology-supported agribusiness development.

“…Since the CWM was displayed at a common place accessible to all the farmers of the villages and the content and treatment of the message were kept as per the requirement and preference of the farming community, it was observed that CWM not only delivered the right information, at right time, at the doorstep of the farmers, it also created a dialogue among the farming community. The study by Panda et al, (2019) showed that access and usage on ICT tools have significance to influence on benefit extraction, which indicated that if we could able to increase the awareness level than access and usage of ICT tools possibly increase. The cumulative enhancement in the knowledge level of the beneficiary farmers of the FS organised by the DoA under the ATMA scheme was 47.18 per cent.…”

A field experimental study was conducted in Aligarh District of Uttar Pradesh to assess the feasibility of enhancing the effectiveness of Farm Schools (FS) through Community Wall Magazine (CWM). Four treatments with two replications were taken in the study. Treatments were information sharing through CWM (T1), information sharing through FS (T2) and supporting information sharing through FS with CWM (T3). Treatment T0 was taken to eliminate the effect of extraneous variables. Before and after treatment score of gain in the knowledge level of farmers regarding paddy cultivation practices was measured with the help of a knowledge test developed for the study. Matching in terms of the general profile of the farmers under all the replications was ensured before exposure to the treatments. Total farmers under the study were 200. Through CWM 21.83 per cent enhancement in knowledge level regarding rice cultivation practices of the farmers was observed. Due to the effect of FS on rice, 47.18 per cent enhancement in knowledge level was observed. The FS on rice which were supported with the information sharing through CWM 61.02 per cent enhancement in the knowledge level of beneficiary farmers was observed.
