INTRODUCTION
In order to ameliorate the poor socio-economic conditions of the farmers,
farm women and rural youths in rural India by raising the level of farm
productivity, income and employment with application of agricultural innovation
generated at research station. Innovative extension education institutions i.e.
Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVKs) was introduced by Indian Council of Agricultural
Research. Socio-economic status is an important factor, which pervades all fields
of social action in Indian society. This is needless to say that a mans position in
the socio economic status hierarchy determined by his behaviour in the society.
People belonging to higher socioeconomic status are said to be more modernized
in their values and behaviours than the people who are in comparatively low ranges
of the socio-economic status. Knowledge may be defined as those behaviour and
test situations, which emphasize upon memorization and remembering, either by
recognition or recall of ideas.
One of the main tasks of Krishi Vigyan Kendra is to provide and improve
the level of knowledge of the trainees about the improved farm practices, because
knowledge is cognitive component of individuals mind and plays an important
role in covert as well as overt behaviour . Individuals with a greater knowledge of
technical nature of improved practices would lead to a high adoption possibly
because knowledge is not inert. Once knowledge is acquired and retained, it
undergoes and produces changes in the thinking process and of mental alchemy.
This study was, therefore, conducted to ascertain the level of socio-economic
condition of the farmers as well as their prevailing level of awareness knowledge
of the KVK training programme.

CONCLUSION OF THE SURVEY ON THE BASIS OF SOCIO
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS:
From the survey and analysis of the information collected from the
village, it is cleared that the economic & living condition of the people of Jamnipur
is average, but the attitude of the people towards the society is appreciable.
Commissions and kickbacks are ruining the productivity. Educational and
productive steps should be introduced for overall development and wellbeing of
the farmers. There can be much more economic development of the village if the
village gets aid from government in utilizing advance technologies in agriculture,
fishery and animal husbandry. We would say that this report is a looking glass,
which reflects the face of that village.
In conclusion we can say that a part of field study Socio-Economic Survey is a
part and partial of education system. It is also a very essential and important part of
education, because it helps us to know and realize the Socio-economic condition of
particular society, the living standard of its people, their views towards education.
So the Socio-Economic Survey lays a pivot role in our educational system.

19

How to sustain Agriculture/Farming System:
Suggested comments:
a) Proper educational seminars should be put up by the government in
order to educate the farmers.
b) Diseases in crops and livestock should be completely eradicated with
better and modern facilities.
c) Cost of farm implements should be at a price where farmers can afford
easily.
d) Bank loans to the farmers.
e) Irrigation system should be improved.
f) Seed collection must be done from a trusted agency.
g) They should visit the nearby KVK twice in a month for improved
technology.
