Awareness and attitude of farmers, agricultural extension workers and officials towards training and visit system
(Department of Agricultural Extension, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, 1984) Betty Cherian, K; Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O
In order to assess the awareness and attitude of farmers, agricultural extension workers and officials towards T&V system, a study was carried out in Trivandrum district of Kerala State. In the case of farmers, age, education, farm size, social participation, socio economic status, exposure to information source, scientific orientation and risk preference were selected as independant variables. Age education, experience and previous training were the independent variables for agricultural extension workers and officials
Constraints in evolving, spreading and adopting improved rice varieties in Kerala
(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Tampi, A M; Bhaskaran, C
Out of the nine constraints identified in evolving and spreading improved rice varieties, lack of facilities for evolving specific varieties suited to certain rice pockets of Kerala ranked first as percieved by the research subsystem. Non-filling up of post of scientists, lack of facilities to multiply seeds of improved varieties and for onfarm teaching of farmers were other important constraints in the descending order. Susceptibility to pests and diseases, requirement of heavy dose of fertilizers, poor cooking quality and low straw yield were the most important constraints in spreading and adopting improved rice varieties as perceived by extension, client and input subsystems.
Experimental study on the relative effectiveness of selected visual aids in teaching neo-literates
(Department of Agricultural Extension, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, 1990) Santhosh Kumar, S; Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O
In order to assess the relative effectiveness of selected visual aids in teaching neo-literates, an experimental study was carried out in Kottukkal panchayath of Trivandrum district, Kerala state. Three selected visual aids, viz., slides, flash cards and flannel graph, were tested for their effectiveness along with lecture method on a sample of 90 neo-literate fisher man. Gain in knowledge and its retention were the dependent variables. Age, family, size, average annual income, exposure to information sources, socio-political participation and cosmopoliteness were studied as the independent variables. Results revealed that slide was the most effective visual in terms of gain in knowledge where as flash cards contributed maximum to retention of knowledge when used in combination with lecture method. The analysis of correlation coefficients revealed that age and family size were significant but negatively correlated with both gain in knowledge and its retention, in the case of all the four treatments. Similarly, average annual income of the respondents was significantly and negatively corrected with the gain in knowledge in the case of TO, T2 and T3. For T1 the correlation was negative but not significant. In the case of retention of knowledge, the average annual income was negatively and significantly correlated for all the four treatments. The relationship of exposure to information sources of the respondents with gain in knowledge as well as with its retention was positive in the case of all the four treatments but significant only for T2 and T3. There was no significant relationship between the dependent variables and the socio-political participation of the neo-literates. The cosmopolitenes of respondent and significant and positive correlation with the gain in knowledge when the three selected visual aids were used along with lecture method. Significant, positive relationship was found between the cosmopoliteness and retention of knowledge when flash cards and flannel graphs were used along with the lecture method. The regression analysis revealed that out of the six independent variable, only two variables, viz., age and cosmopoliteness were significant in predicting the variation in gain in knowledge of neo-literates when flash cards and flannel graph were used along with lecture. But in the case of retention of knowledge, only one independent variable, viz. , age was significant in explaining the variation when flash cards as well as flannel graph were used along with the lecture method.

Research-extension linkages in the transferof technology of improved rice varieties – A factor analysis
(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Tampi, A M; Bhaskaran, C
A study was conducted to explore the extent of funtional linkages between the research and extension subsystems in the transfer of technology of improved rice varieties. The factors associated with the linkage of research subsytem with the extension subsystem were mainly, providing consultancy services and training to extension personnel, supervising trials and demonstrations, facilitating as well as guiding in field level extension activities and providing information support on new varieties by the researchers. The linking factors of extension subsystem with the researchers were mainly, participation in workshops and joint field visits, seeking help of researchers in trials and demonstrations laid out by the extension personnel.
