Abstract:
The study was undertaken during 2020-21 at Udaipur District of Rajasthan state in order to identify constraints faced by farmers in utilization of improved farm implements. A sample of 120 respondents from two tehsils (Mavli & Salumber) and eight villages (Samchott, Banoda, Joyra, Mahadevkhera, Goverdhanpura, Rahami, Budgaon & Intali) were taken on the basis of proportionate random sampling. The study revealed that most of the farmers face medium level of constraints. From the study, we came to know that, “Low level of education” was the major personal constraints followed by” Lack of training”. In case of technical constraints “Lack of demonstration on improved farm implements” is major constraints. Similarly “Poor extension service on improved farm implements” is major communicational constraints. In case of institutional constraints “Poor banking system in rural area” is major constraints and “High initial cost of improved farm implements” is major economical constraints. “Degraded soil structure” is major geographical constraints which faced by the farmers in utilization of improved farm implements. The study shows that respondents were facing “Personal constraints” to maximum severity than other categories of constraints.
