Abstract

During 2021-22, the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the farm pond on-demand initiative in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions were analysed and identified the constraints associated with farm pond adoption. Through focus group discussions, observations, and semi-structured interviews with 160 beneficiaries and 160 non beneficiaries of the farm pond programme, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The adoption and discontinuation of agricultural ponds were analysed using the rank-based quotient (RBQ) approach to find barriers and contributing variables. After consulting with subject matter experts, reading pertinent literature, and having a conversation with respondents, a list of constraints divided into four major categories-technical, economic, ecological, and personal constraints-and the perceived significant reason for the discontinuation of the farm pond was noted. Results revealed that the economic constraints were considered the most serious ones, with a mean RBQ value of 88.85. Followed by technological (78.25), ecological (61.82) and personal constraints (58.18). Draining the bore well or well to store water in the farm pond was considered as the most serious perceived reason to discontinue the farm pond with an RBQ value of 44.94, followed by a less productive period of farm pond reported by the respondents with RBQ values 40.38.
马哈拉施特拉邦干旱地区采用农场池塘的制约因素
在2021- 2022年期间,对马哈拉施特拉邦维达尔巴和马拉特瓦达地区农场池塘按需计划的受益者和非受益者进行了分析,并确定了与农场池塘采用相关的制约因素。通过焦点小组讨论、观察和对农场池塘方案的160名受益者和160名非受益者的半结构化访谈,收集了定量和定性数据。采用基于秩的商(RBQ)方法对农业池塘的采用和终止进行了分析,以发现障碍和贡献变量。在咨询了主题专家,阅读了相关文献,并与受访者进行了交谈之后,列出了一份限制因素列表,分为四大类:技术,经济,生态和个人限制,并指出了终止农场池塘的重要原因。结果表明,经济制约因素最为严重,平均RBQ值为88.85。其次是技术(78.25)、生态(61.82)和个人约束(58.18)。RBQ值为44.94,被调查者认为是停止农场池塘的最严重原因,其次是农场池塘生产力下降,RBQ值为40.38。
