Banana is the most important fruit crop in India which requires the various cultivation practices. For carrying out those cultivation practices various energies are required to meet sustainable production. The main aim of this study was to find out the resource use efficiency estimation for banana production in Erode District of Tamil Nadu. Primary data was collected from 100 sample farmers using well structured interview schedule. The empirical results shows that except human labour, nitrogen, phosphorus and diesel remaining all other variables included in the model were positive and human labour, machine labour, nitrogen, potassium, FYM, plant protection chemicals, irrigation water, sucker and electricity were significant among other variables. Subsequently, increase in 1% use of inputs such as machine labour, potassium, electricity, sucker and plant protection chemicals would increase the yield of banana 0.15 per cent, 0.20 per cent, 0.02 per cent, 0.01 per cent and 0.01 per cent respectively and 79 per cent of the variations in banana yield were influenced by the explanatory variables. Likewise price fluctuation plays a major constraint among the banana farmers. This study suggested the banana farmers to use more amount of potassium and to reduce the usage of human labour and as well as nitrogen fertilizer for sustainable use of resources.

This study was primarily concentrated on hill banana cultivation. The purpose of this study is to find the economics of hill banana cultivation and the problems faced by the hill banana farmers during the production of hill bananas in the Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu. Economics of the hill banana cultivation was done by finding the cost and returns associated with the hill banana cultivation and constraints faced by the hill banana farmers with Garrett's ranking technique. Many previous research on the production of various agricultural commodities was focused on a specific area and/or a specific commodity. There was a little study on banana production and limitations in some regions in Tamil Nadu. As a result, the focus of this research will be on hill banana production in the Dindigul district. Purposive and convenience sampling technique was used in this study. Primary data were collected by the personal interview with a well-structured interview schedule. The cost and returns of hill bananas were calculated per hectare. The average cost of production of hill bananas was estimated to be ₹2.04 lakh/ha. The average gross return was ₹5.04 lakh/ha and the average net return was estimated to be ₹2.99 lakh/ha. The result of the study shows that hill banana cultivation was highly profitable and the benefit-cost ratio (BC Ratio) was more than unity (2.46). The major constraints faced by hill banana farmers in the cultivation of hill bananas were pest attack (insects) followed by disease attack, lack of labor availability, animal attack, and drought. The findings will assist policymakers in developing appropriate programs and adjusting strategies for improving hill banana production in Tamil Nadu.

<p>Crops are subject to risks generated by adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, biological reasons and market price volatility. Crop insurance is a strategy hedge the risk of loss arising out of agricultural activities. The PMFBY was launched in 2016 with an impetus on agricultural sector. The successes of crop insurance business depend on the awareness of the beneficiaries about the products and services rendered. Hence the study aims at analysing awareness and access to the Scheme by the farmers who have insured their crops mandatorily or voluntarily. The sample farmers were drawn from Thondamuthur block in Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu, which is notified by PMFBY scheme as the Low Risk Profile District purposively taking into account those who have insured their crops under PMFBY Scheme during the study period of Kharif 2018. The sample size includes 187 respondents comprising of 115 loanee farmers covered under the scheme and 72 non-loanee farmers covered under the scheme voluntarily. The primary data were collected through structured interview schedule and were subjected to test of reliability. The secondary data was collected from published sources. The descriptive statistics and inferential statistics namely factor analysis and discriminant analysis was employed in data analysis. The result showed that a moderate level of awareness is prevailing PMFBY scheme among the farmers about the features of the scheme. The non-loanee farmers were much aware of various features than loanee farmers. The access to the scheme by the non-loanee farmers were determined by announcement of cut-off date ahead of the particular season and support services available at the villages. The access to the scheme by the loanee farmers is because of mandatory deduction of premium out of agricultural credit, Insurance policy provided at their doorstep by authorities, agencies and involvement of local leaders.</p>

According to Census Report 2011, nearly 50% of the population of our country are women. They have a great contribution in society. Therefore, we cannot deny the importance of them. In spite of great contribution in society, the women are less empowered in every field of society. The conception of empowerment is based on the notion of power; empowerment by definition means “enabling”, “giving, receiving or obtaining power” or “giving the official or legal authority or the freedom to do something”. In addition, empowerment is defined as the equalization of power and the more efficient use of resources Women’s education leads to empowerment. There are two reasons behind selecting the topic “Role of Education in Empowering Women” for the present study. Firstly, there has been no found any comparative study in the review of literature regarding the measurement of empowerment between educated and uneducated women. Secondly, no literature has been found on education and women empowerment in the study area. The present paper fulfills this research gap. Dinhata block-II of Cooch Behar district, West Bengal has been selected for the purpose of the study. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data have been collected from a field survey in Dinhata block-II of Cooch Behar district, West Bengal. Secondary data have also been collected from various journals, articles, working papers and education related website. For study purpose it has been selected 200 women from the study area. Among them 100 are educated and the rest 100 women are uneducated. A structured interview schedule was prepared and used for collecting data from the respondents in the study area. To analyse the results a simple statistical technique like percentage has been used. To compare the results, Chi-square test has been used. In the present study, it has been considered nine indicators to measure empowerment between educated and uneducated women. From the results and discussion it has been observed that educated women are more empowered as compare to uneducated one. Chi-square Test shows the significance difference between educated and uneducated women regarding empowerment. Thus, it can be conclude that education is very important factor in empowering women.

Groundnut is called as the king of oil seed. It plays an important role in oil seed economy of India. Groundnut oil is mainly used as cooking purpose and also used for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics, shaving creams and lubricants. Groundnut was cultivated both as rainfed and irrigated crop. Increased productivity greatly depends on available technologies and extent of adoption by farmers. With poor productivity, the economy of major groundnut district of Tamil Nadu like Ariyalur has been shattered as evidences with debt ridden farmers and migrating agricultural labourers of the region. Even through considerable changes with regard to knowledge and skills among the groundnut farmers were brought by the scientists and extension personnel, still there is a wide gap to be filled in by effective training programmes. If the training programmes are need based, a definite improvement in the knowledge level of groundnut farmers would occur leading to increased productivity and there is a possibility to make the predominant small and marginal farming systems more sustainable. Keeping these in view, the research study was taken in Ariyalur district of Tamil Nadu with the following objectives. Analyze the training needs of groundnut farmers on production technologies through the use of objective techniques. It would be of great use to find out the relationship between the selected independent variables and dependent variable. Identification of problems faced by groundnut farmers in adopting the recommended practices and their perceived solutions will be of immediate use in removing the existing deficiencies and to plan a sound future strategy of training the groundnut farmers. Proportionate random sampling procedure was applied to select 120 respondents from the district. The data were collected by using a well-structured interview schedule, and analyzed with statistical tools like percentage analysis, cumulative frequency method, and correlation and regression analysis. It could be observed that out of the eleven major subject areas, only four areas viz., ‘plant protection measures’, ‘fertilizer application’, ‘micronutrient application’ and ‘weed management’ were the most needed areas on which trainings were demanded. ‘Lack of suitable weed control
