The preparation of value-added products is mostly confined to household/village or with in the easy access of farm women. Because the majority of the raw materials are available in the village, it is ideal to start as a rural or village enterprise. As a result of this value addition, rural residents would have a lot of job opportunities. The under employed force in rural areas can be profitably utilized. In this context there is a greater scope to go for value added products or processed food products or ready to eat products which can take care of effective utilization of time by the women folk. A questionnaire- based simple random sampling survey was conducted on 120 farm women of Kheda districts of Gujarat state. The statistical measures, such as SPSS and Microsoft excel were used. nearly three-fifths (59.17 per cent) of the farm women had moderately favourable attitude towards value addition in vegetable crops.","PeriodicalId":284553,"journal":{"name":"Gujarat Journal of Extension Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127789704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variables under study were selected on the basis of extensive review of literature on the subject in consultation with experts. The variables are included are age, education, experience of horse rearing, family size, social participation in horse related organization, size of land holding, annual income, occupation, pack size, purpose of horse rearing, extension contact, source of information. From the it was concluded that age and education of the horse owners had positive and non-significant correlation with their knowledge level of scientific horse rearing practices. Size of family, occupation, pack size, purpose of horse rearing and extension contact of the horse owners had negative and non-significant correlation. The findings of the study will be very useful to horse owners who wish to follow scientific horse rearing practices for better economic returns.","PeriodicalId":284553,"journal":{"name":"Gujarat Journal of Extension Education","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123227783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
