Constraints faced by animal husbandry officials in the implementation of integrated murrah development scheme (IMDS) in Haryana Sta

Abstract

A study has been conducted in Haryana to analyze the various constraints faced by animal husbandry officials in implementation of "Integrated Murrah Development Scheme" (IMDS). Data were collected from 40 animal husbandry officials from four districts namely Kurukshetra, Mahendragarh, Bhiwani and Jhajjar. Garett's ranking technique was used to prioritize the different sets of constraints. "Heavy work-load due to multidimensional activities of the project during peak season" and "Inadequacy of staff in the scheme" were the major administrative constraints in order of severity. Under technical constraints "lack of mass media approach" followed by "No provision for the refresher courses for the programme functionaries" were the most severe. "Inadequate number of staff at field level and large area of operation under a single supervisor" followed by "lack of involvement of NGO and PRIs in enhancing community participation" were important infrastructural and operational constraints. Untimely release of fund by the parent department and misguidance of farmers by the middlemen/ Brokers were the economic and socio-psychological constraints, respectively. Lack of technical expertise in the field of extension, lack of emphasis on educating the dairy farmers were other important miscellaneous constraints faced by animal husbandry officials. Removal of these constraints should receive priority over the considerable focus on the implementation of such scheme.

Constraint analysis of officials of department of fisheries of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra

“…These officials stated that fewer grants for programmes/activities were there and the grants were untimely. Similar results have been reported by Jadoun et al (2017) [5] in Haryana.…”

“…Similarly, Patil et al (2017) [15] also reported that extension personnel of the fisheries department in Maharashtra faced administrative constraints like diversified duties and assignments, no compensation or incentives for additional work. Jadoun et al (2017) [5] reported constraints of animal husbandry officials in Haryana, wherein, administrative constraints like heavy workload during peak season followed by the inadequacy of staff were highly severe. Study conducted by Angral et al (2017) [2] in Jammu and Kashmir reported that DoF officials were not getting full cooperation from the respondents, therefore there was participations during trainings and technology transfer.…”

Constraints faced by Navinya Purna yojana (NPY) beneficiary goat farmers in western region Maharashtra

“…Extension Support Constraints perceived by the beneficiary goat farmers are summarized in the table 4 reveled that No training provision under NPY' was major extension support constraints (Mean score 1.37) followed by No exposure visit of selected beneficiaries to nearby successful farms with second ranked constraints (Mean score 1.28). Similar finding found with Jadoun (2017) [2] and Mohanty (2020) [3] . The statement Lengthy and hectic process for applying for www.extensionjournal.com the NPY Scheme was ranked III (Score 1.21).…”

“…This method facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the most significant challenges faced by goat farmers, aiding in targeted intervention and support strategies. Financial constraints perceived by NPY beneficiary goat farmers are presented in the table 2 it is revealed that Initially heavy investment for the construction of the shed and the purchase of kids' was ranked I with mean score 1.43 and Unavailability of credit from Banks and other financial institutions to support the scheme was ranked II (mean score 1.23), followed by Unavailability of credit from Banks and other financial institutions to support the scheme at third number constraints with mean score 1.18. similar result was observed by Sorathiya (2016) [9] , Jadoun (2017) [2] and Mohanty (2020) [3] . The probable reason might be that the NPY beneficiaries of the general category get a subsidy of 50 per cent and the beneficiaries of the SC/ST category get a subsidy of 75 per cent.…”
