Abstract:
Paddy is one of the central grains of India. This nation has the biggest region under paddy development. India is the world's second biggest maker of paddy and the biggest exporter of paddy on the planet. Creation expanded from 53.6 million tons in Financial Year 1980 to 120 million tons in Financial Year 2020-2021. In Cooch Behar district 85%, of the total cultivated land is under paddy. The hybrid paddy is grown mainly in Rabi and Kharif season in Cooch Behar and out of the net cultivated area <1% of the land was under hybrid paddy cultivation in the district. This is mainly because the cooking quality of hybrid paddy and market value are not up to the mark. The famers required short duration paddy seeds to increase the income of the farmers and in this research conducted in the study area to determine the socio-economic profile of the farmers.
