Abstract

The Village Adoption Programme is an important government initiative aimed at providing various benefits and support to farmers in rural areas. However, many beneficiary farmers have faced challenges in accessing these benefits effectively. To address these constraints, a study was conducted to gather suggestions from beneficiary farmers who adopted Village Adoption Programme by MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan. For this study, 90 beneficiaries were selected from the three adopted villages. The findings of the study ranked the suggestions based on their Mean Percent Score (MPS). The top-ranked suggestions include providing subsidies for farm machinery, organizing training programs for public representatives and recruiting extension personnel at the village level. These suggestions offer valuable insights into the specific needs and desires of farmers, emphasizing the importance of financial support, knowledge enhancement and effective guidance in improving agricultural practices.
