Educating rural women and creating awareness about modern homestead technologies can go a long way in<br />enhancing their knowledge &amp; skill and ultimately, the productivity of the system and farm incomes. The study was<br />conducted with 15 KVK scientists of Rajendra Agricultural University (RAU) and data was collected by personally<br />interviewing them. The problems expressed and suggested solutions were tabulated and interpreted with meaningful<br />conclusion. Based on the information generated, conceptual framework/ strategies were formulated to overcome<br />the problems. The results highlighted that the major technological problem was high cost of production for some of<br />the technologies hence suggested the scientists to develop more of low cost technologies. The main financial<br />problem was inadequate and untimely release of fund for training programs hence suggested making it available<br />on time and in adequate amount. The major infrastructural problem faced by them was shortage of vehicles and<br />mobile training units with all the essential facilities to disseminate technologies in the remotest areas that should<br />be made available at the KVKs. The organisational problem faced was lack of Subject Matter Specialists (SMSs)<br />for all the allied areas of agriculture and hence suggested to recruit the vacant positions to lessen their work load.<br />The main social problem faced was low literacy rate of rural women and it was suggested to increase the literacy<br />rate of rural women through adult education program. The strategies proposed to overcome these problems were<br />that the Directorate of Extension should facilitate in circulation of technology manuals to all stakeholders, improved<br />infrastructure facilities, adequate and timely release of fund, deployment of additional staff, better and additional<br />transport facilities (mobile units), capacity building and skill up-gradation, improving R-E-F linkage and<br />collaboration of extension scientists with line departments.
