Abstract:

ATMA organize farmers into groups (FIGs and CIGs) and provided training, demonstrations and exposure visit on improved agricultural technologies and new agri-enterprises. Keeping this in view, to know the farmers’ inclination towards FIG in terms of their knowledge, attitude and adoption an attempt has been made to develop a scale for measuring the knowledge of farmers about Farmer Interest Group under ATMA. Among the techniques available for the development of scale, a standardized technique chosen to develop a scale for the purpose. The item analysis used by Jha and Singh (1970) was carried out. The Biserial correlation for each item was calculated with the help of the formula suggested by Guilford (1965). The significance of the Biserial correlation coefficient was tested by using the formula given by Guilford (1965). The items found significant at 0.5 per cent level of significance was included in the final format of the knowledge test battery.


Keywords: Knowledge about FIG, reliability, validity
