The present study was conducted during 2017-18 in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh, with the objective to compare the cost & return and identifying constraints in paddy cultivation under different sowing techniques (SRI, Transplanting, Broadcasting and Line sowing). The study was conducted with the help of questionnaire, interviewed over 100 farmers. The cost of preparatory tillage was 7, 35 & 45 per cent more than line sowing. The material cost was found to be 9, 31 & 34 per cent more than broadcasting. However the yield was found to be 39, 46 & 83 per cent more in case of line sowing, transplanting and SRI over broadcasting. Total cost occurred in cultivation of paddy in SRI is Rs. 60809, in transplanting Rs. 49587, line sowing it is Rs. 43346 and broadcasting Rs. 42574. Per hectare return of SRI was Rs. 122000, transplanting Rs. 96111, line sowing Rs. 91600 and broadcasting Rs. 66140. The return per rupees was around Rs 2.11 in line sowing, Rs 2 in SRI, Rs 1.94 in transplanting and Rs. 1.55 in broadcasting. Major constraints in paddy cultivation were found to be unawareness of technologies and more labour requirement in SRI and transplanting and costly input cost.
