    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.

    Job satisfaction of agricultural graduates engaged in selected avenues of employment in Alleppey District
    (Department of Agricultural Extension, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, 1989) Kalavathi, S; Tampi, A M
    The study was conducted in Alleppey District with a sample of 110 Agricultural graduates working in three avenues of employment viz., Department of Agriculture (60 respondents), Banks (30 respondents) and Agricultural University (30 respondents). The data were collected through interviews with the respondents. The data were analysed by applying percentage analysis, simple correlation, path analysis, Chi-square test, kruskal-wallis test and Friedman’s test. The results indicated that the agricultural graduates working in banks felt higher satisfaction on their job, followed by the agricultural graduates in the University and Department of Agriculture respectively in their order of satisfaction. Their personal factors (age, sex and the like) contributed very little to job satisfaction, whereas the job- related factors (Job Motivation, Job attitude and the like) were having significant contribution to job satisfaction. Job motivation expressed maximum direct as well as indirect effects within the three avenues of employment. Most negatively contributing factor was job esteem. Half of the agricultural graduates working in the three avenues of employment viz., Department of Agriculture, Banks and Kerala Agricultural University both perceived and performed their duties on the job at a higher order. The personal in the Banks and Agricultural University evidenced significant difference in the levels of their perception and performance in the areas of their job, namely, planning, Execution, Financing. Administration and supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation and Technical duties. Planning with Monitoring and Evaluation was considered most by the banking personnel. The Agricultural University personnel evidenced significant importance in Planning, Execution and supervisory process within their job. Departmental personnel perceived and performed all the areas of job duties on par. The results also indicated a positive relationship between job perception, job performance and job satisfaction amongst the agricultural graduates in all the three avenues of employment.

    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.

    Structural and functional linkages in the transfer of technology of improved rice varieties released by the Kerala agricultural university-a system analysis
    (Department Of Agricultural Extension, College Of Agriculture, Vellayani, 1989) Abdul rahiman Kunju, O; Tampi, A M
    The study aimed at analyzing the extent of existing structural and functional linkages between and among the Research Sub- system (RSS), the Extension Sub-system (ESS), the Client Sub- system (CSS) and the Input Sub- system (ISS) in the transfer of technology (TOT) of improved rice varieties released by the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU). The study was conducted in the Alleppey, Ernakulam, Trichur and Palghat districts of Kerala. Respondents of the study consisted of 52 researchers, 134 extension personnel, 110 farmers and 32 representatives from the input agencies. To delineate the structural linkages between and among the four sub- systems involved in the TOT process, detailed analysis of the existing formal mechanics of linkage were analysed. Linkage activities that could be performed by each sub- system were identified and relevancy rated for measuring the extent of performance and perception of importance of these linkage activities by the respondents. A linkage index was developed to measure the perception of importance of linkage activities by the respondents. Data from the RSS, ESS, and ISS were collected using separate pre-tested structured questionnaires. Data from the CSS were collected using a pre- tested structured interview schedule. In structural linkage, it was found that there were appreciable linkage forums for the RSS and the ESS. But there was lack of organized linkage forums for the CSS and the ISS. Representation for the ESS in the linkage forums of the RSS was found to be restricted to higher officials. There was no representation for the ISS in the important linkage forums of the RSS. The regularity and periodicity of convening of the package of practices workshops, Extension Advisory Committee (EAC) and State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) were also found not being strictly adhered to. In functional linkages, the extent of linkage of the ESS with CSS and the ESS with the ISS were significantly better and reciprocal. Though the RSS viewed its linkage with the ESS and the CSS as good, the ESS and the CSS did not subscribe to this view. Similarly, the ISS viewed that its linkage with the RSS and the CSS was good but the RSS and the CSS did not corroborate this. Based on these results the hypotheses set for the study were either rejected or accepted. In order to segregate the factors associated with the functional linkages between and among the four sub- systems in the TOT of improved rice varieties, principal- factor analysis was done and the factors were extracted and labeled appropriately. The perception about the importance of linkage activities of the ESS with the CSS and the ISS was significantly better and reciprocal. But the perception about the importance of linkage activities of the RSS with the ISS, the ESS with the RSS and the CSS with the RSS and the ISS were significantly poor and hence the hypotheses set for the study were rejected. Lack of infra- structural facilities for research followed by insufficient staff strength and lack of facilities to multiply seeds were the most- important constraints in evolving and spreading the improved rice varieties as perceived by the RSS. Susceptibility to pests and diseases followed by the need for heavy dose of fertilizers and pesticides and poor cooking quality were the most important constraints in spreading and adopting the improved rice varieties as perceived by the ESS, the CSS and the ISS. Based on the results of the study, certain important implications have been spelt out.
