Abstract

Dairy development in India has plays a major role in improving the nutritional standards of the people, generating employment opportunities and improving incomes in rural areas besides fulfilling consumer demands. There is an urgent need to enhance productivity of dairy animals by promoting adoption of scientific practices. The present article summarises the findings of a study that was conducted in three randomly selected districts of Haryana with sample size of 225 respondents. The study was conducted to measure the attitude of farmers towards Scientific Dairy Practices and antecedents factors affecting their attitude. Attitude was measured by using scale containing 11 items. The study revealed that average scores obtained by respondents are indicative of not so favourable attitude. It is argued that this is not desirable as the attitude favourableness is associated with adoption of scientific dairy practices. Attitude was found significantly associated with education, caste, occupation, size of land holding, mass media exposure, social participation. The uneducated, aged, landless farmers are the ones who need special directed efforts in future extension programme.

农民对科学乳品实践的态度

除了满足消费者的需求外，印度的乳制品发展在提高人民的营养水平、创造就业机会和提高农村地区的收入方面发挥了重要作用。迫切需要通过促进采用科学实践来提高奶牛的生产力。本文总结了在哈里亚纳邦随机选择的三个地区进行的一项研究的结果，该研究的样本量为225名受访者。本研究旨在测量农民对科学乳品实践的态度及影响其态度的前因因素。态度采用包含11个项目的量表进行测量。研究表明，受访者的平均得分表明他们的态度不那么乐观。有人认为这是不可取的，因为有利的态度与采用科学的乳制品实践有关。态度与教育、种姓、职业、土地持有规模、大众媒体曝光、社会参与显著相关。未受教育、年老、无地的农民在今后的推广方案中需要特别有针对性的努力。
