Vegetables crops play a unique role in the Indian economy by improving the income of the farmers. For understanding the vegetables farming adopting self-confidence of rural youth, the scale to measure the vegetables farming adopting self-confidence of rural youth was developed. In initial stage, 35 statements reflecting self-confidence of rural youth about vegetables farming were collected from relevant literature and discussion with experts of extension and horticulture disciplines. The collected statements were edited according to the criteria laid down by Edward (1957) and then 24 statements reflecting self-confidence of rural youth about vegetables farming were selected as they were found to be unambiguous. Based on the median and Q values, 10 statements reflecting self-confidence of rural youth about vegetables farming were finally selected to constitute self-confidence scale. The test was found to be reliable (0.77) and valid.","PeriodicalId":284553,"journal":{"name":"Gujarat Journal of Extension Education","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116477456","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 study’s objective was to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial aspects of the rural and urban community in the Banaskantha district “during and post-lockdown. The study sample consisted of 200 respondents randomly selected from ten rural and ten urban areas in the Banaskantha district. An interview schedule was developed to collect primary data from respondents. The result showed that economically rural respondents were moderately affected during the lockdown but highly affected post-lockdown. In comparison, urban respondents’ social and economic aspects were extremely affected during the lockdown and moderately affected post-lockdown. A significant difference between lockdown and post-lockdown for social and economic effects was found due to the COVID-19 pandemic between rural and urban respondents. Overall, it can be concluded that COVID-19 adversely affected the economic aspects of rural and urban communities during and post-lockdown. Thus, better management by the government against the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to mitigate the financial crisis.","PeriodicalId":284553,"journal":{"name":"Gujarat Journal of Extension Education","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125703067","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}

In Gujarat, Sandesh is leading daily newspaper and it was found in 1923. It could also be effective media in changing perception, attitude and actions of people when they are literates. So, a study was conducted to know the reading behaviour of agro sandesh in daily newspaper by farmers. The study would also help to know whether the agriculture information is really reaching to its actual beneficiaries and up to what extent. Ex- post facto research design was used for this study.

The ex-post facto research design was used for the research study. Krishi Vigyan Kendra is an institutional project of ICAR for testing, training and transfer of agricultural technologies for the benefit of farmers, farm women and youths. Organizational design is the term frequently employed to describe the psychological structure of organization and their sub units. Good organizational design helps improve communication, increase productivity, and inspire innovation. Owing to the importance of organizational design in KVKs for effective communication and innovation. It was, therefore felt necessary to analyze the KVK scientists’ attitude towards organizational design. The action of individual KVK scientist is governed by personal, economic, social, communicational and psychological factors involved in situation. KVK scientists’ shows different level of attitude towards organizational design. Thus, it may be stated that the attitude towards organizational design differs with such characteristics. Hence, considering the importance of these characteristics and review of past research studies, an attempt has been made in this investigation to ascertain the relationship if any, between profile of KVK scientists and their attitude towards organizational design. The result concluded that majority of KVKs scientists had perceived organizational design of KVK as most favorable. The result also revealed that out of eighteen independent variables nine variables viz. knowledge about ICT, achievement motivation, attitude towards extension work, professionalism, job satisfaction, job involvement, level of exposure to new farming idea, empathy and planning orientation were found to be positive and highly significantly correlated while education had negative and highly significant correlation with attitude towards organizational design.

To increase yield production, many parameters are responsible like weather, fertilizers, pesticides, and soil. Soil is an important key aspect of agriculture, as an increase in yield can only be attained by ensuring that the soil provides a balanced and adequate supply of nutrients. The main aim of the work is to predict soil fertility using data mining classification techniques. Soil fertility is predicted using data mining classification techniques such as J48, Random Forest, Decision Table, PART, and Naive Bayes. These classifier algorithms are used to extract soil fertility knowledge from soil data. A comparison of different classifier algorithms concerning prediction accuracy revealed that the Random Forest is the best classifier to classify the soil fertility dataset. The Random Forest classifier algorithm can produce more consistent results of soil data for the Anand District of Gujarat State and the Kappa Statistics in the prediction were improved.","PeriodicalId":284553,"journal":{"name":"Gujarat Journal of Extension Education","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115194454","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}
