Data Collection

The Jammu region comprises the districts of Kathua, Jammu, Udhampur, Doda, Rajouri and Poonch. The selection of AEA for the study purpose was done in three stages. At the first stage included two broader areas, that is, command area (CA) and non-command area (NCA) of Jammu District. CA refers to those areas which are mainly dependent on the Department of Agriculture for irrigation purposes like channels, drains and so on, whereas NCA meets its irrigation requirement by its own ways such as tube well, hand pumps and so on. At the second stage, two blocks (Samba and Vijaypur) from command area were selected on census bases, and two blocks (R.S. Pura and Marh) from non-command area were selected on the basis of the recommendations made by the agriculture experts. In the second stage, a list of agricultural extension agents comprising 146 persons with 11 SMSs, 16 AEOs and 114 JAAs were procured from the Department of Agriculture. Lastly, the self-developed tested structure questionnaire was distributed to all the 146 extension agents. One hundred and forty-one out of 146 questionnaires were received that amounts to 97 per cent response rate. The final 141 respondents include 11 SMSs, 16 AEOs and 114 JAAs. The demographic profile of the 141 respondents is given in Table 6.1.Table 6.1Demographic profile of agricultural extension personnel
