Abstract:
The present investigate study was conducted in the year 2020-21. In this study attitude of rice famers towards Soil Health Card was studied. Due to lack of appropriate scale to measure attitude of rice famers towards Soil Health Card, it was assumed necessary to construct a scale for the purpose. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to develop a scale for measuring the attitude of rice famers towards Soil Health Card. Method of summated rating scale, by Likert (1932) was used. Thirty six statements were selected from fifty six statements for which “t” values were worked out. Statements both positive and negative with t-values more than 1.75 for were selected. Statement wise content analysis of attitude of rice famers towards Soil Health Card was conducted. “Soil Health Card Scheme is a blessing to the farmer” with highest mean score (4.65) ranked first followed by “One soil sample is collected from 5acres of land”. In the same way remaining 34 statements were clearly analysed and presented in the paper.
