In this study the main aim was to analyse the constraints faced by the farmers who were the part of LEADS programme (Lead farmer centred extension advisory and delivery services). LEADS programme was introduced as part of revitalizing the extension system in Kerala using the leadership competencies of lead farmers. The study was conducted in 120 Lead farmers across four districts of Kerala namely Kollam, Kannur, Wayanad and Palakkad. Technology repetition was the most important constraint experienced by the farmers followed by the constraint of irregularity in conducting satellite group meetings. Political bias was found to be high in LEADS programme. Another major constraint unearthed was regarding the inadequate number of capacity development programs. Lack of knowledge in understanding problems and needs of satellite farmers by LEAD farmers was the least relevant constraint. Suggestions for overcoming the constraints were also delineated.

The present study was conducted in Haryana. The 120 buffalo farmers from twelve villages constituted the sample size for the present study. An ex-post facto research design was used for the study. Farmers were asked to rank the constraints that they faced in their interaction with stakeholders. The constraints were studied under four subheads viz., farmers related, extension related, veterinary and infrastructure-related, and other constraints. It was found that low extension agency contact and lack of information about stakeholders were the most important farmers’ related constraints. Most serious extension-related constraints were less focus of state department of animal husbandry personnel on extension activities, unavailability of information in the local language, poor availability of buffalo related literature. The most severe veterinary and infrastructural constraints were lack of rapport of farmers with veterinary surgeons, less availability of veterinary surgeons, inadequate number of veterinary functionaries. Less information on marketing channels, less information on credit/loan, source of credit availability were other most serious constraints that were acting as impediments in their interaction with stakeholders. The perceived constraints can be overcome by increasing extension agency contact, increasing social participation, availing more communication media to the farmers, providing buffalo related literature in the local language, increasing the number of veterinarians per thousand animals, off-campus training, efficient management of cooperatives, more information on market and farm credit, need-based information, and context-specific information to the farmers. The findings of the present research would provide new insights about the impediments in the interaction of buffalo farmers with stakeholders.

“…India's agricultural development has emboldened the Indian political class, policy makers, planners, agricultural scientists and farmers since independence. A number of agricultural development plans gave rise to institutional and technological changes in the food grains production in the country [1]. There are many empirical studies witnessing that the area under some crops increased over time while under some others it either decreased and /or remained stagnant.…”

“…As a result, the productivity levels of many major crops in India are not comparable with the yields obtained in agriculturally advanced countries [6][7][8]. The country's agriculture has gained in strength and resilience since independence, although growth in agriculture is highly skewed over regions and crops [1].…”

“…The sector, therefore, deserved to be assigned due importance for its sustainable and balanced development at the state level too. Therefore, different development programmes were initiated in every Five Year Plan covering different aspects of agricultural development [1] Agricultural development was not uniform throughout the state. A number of empirical studies conducted at the state/regional level have shown that the area, production and productivity of some crops have increased over time whereas some other registered a decline while a few have stagnated over time and space [11][12][13][14].…”

This study was carried out in the state of Rajasthan, India. Four major crop groups viz; cereals (pearlmillet, maize and wheat), pulses (moong bean, moth bean, kharif pulses and gram), oilseeds (soyabean and rapeseed and mustard) and others (cotton and clusterbean) were selected for analysis. All crops in the above groups with 5% or more area under cultivation in a district were chosen. The districts were selected on the basis of last five years average (2005-06 to 2009-10 Secondary data were collected from published records and reports of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur and official website of Rajasthan Agriculture Department www.krishi.rajasthan.gov.in. The study period encompassed a duration of 58 years starting from; 1956-57 to 2014-15. The data were also analyzed for twelve different periods by using Markov chain analysis technique for studying the change in cropping pattern. The study results revealed that the bajra crop was almost stable and cotton crop (except during-2000 to 2005) highly unstable with no retention of their previous area over the periods in the state of Rajasthan, but acreage of the crops was continuously shifting from one crop to another crop throughout the period. However, crops like kharif pulses, wheat, clusterbean, soyabean and mustard had more retention as compared to gram, cotton and maize during-1956- 57 to 2014-15 indicating its stability in the state.
