Abstract:
Efficiency is the convergence of potential in the real and the potential of farmers may be changed after the influence of KVK. This research is conducted in year 2021-2022. So, the study was conducted to develop and standardize a reliable and valid scale to measure the efficiency of KVK beneficiaries regarding the influence of KVK. A summated rating method suggested by Likert (1932) was followed in the development of the scale. A total seventy six statements about influence of KVK on efficiency of KVK beneficiaries were collected. These statements were sent to thirty judges to ensure the relevancy of the statements. On the bases of jury opinion, 52 statements were found relevant. Item analysis of these 52 statements was done. The ‘t’ value of all 52 statements and mean ‘t’ value were calculated. Statements having higher ‘t’ value than mean t values were selected. In this way, a total of 32 statements (having 26 positive and 6 negative statements) were selected for final efficiency scale. This scale was found reliable and valid. It can be used for measuring efficiency of KVK beneficiaries regarding influence of KVK.
