Summary, etc. The veterinary surgeons, as part of their roles, performing extension work
under Panchayati Raj, were studied to under stand the work environment as well
as to explore the relationship between the perception of the work environment and
commitment to PRI. A total of 103 veterinary surgeons of the AHD, and working
in Thrissur district of Kerala state formed the sample. As tools of the study,
questionnaires, interview schedules, and group interviews were used. The results
indicated veterinary surgeons' general dissatisfaction with the prevailing work
environment to perform extension work. To be specific, except for the dimension
interpersonal and client relation, all others were found to be relatively lesser-
satisfied ones, the lowest ranked dimension being responsibility and risk taking.
Moreover, those fully satisfied in the job were not even one-fifth of the total
studied, and those satisfactorily committed to PRI, only a little above one-fifth.
The dimensions, communication, services and supplies, peoples' participation and
local leadership, work distribution and team work as well as planning and
execution of projects were positively and significantly correlated with
commitment to PRI. Therefore, these were more important dimensions of work
environment from the perspective of commitment to PRI. Evenso, the dimensions
services and supplies as well as work distribution and teamwork were much more
important, since both contributed positively and significantly to the variability in
commitment to PRI. ~
Force field analysis revealed that the only weak driving force to be lack of
. enough youth and woman participants in animal husbandry development projects.
The most important solution suggested to strengthen this force was implementing
more of viable self-employment projects that could attract youth and woman
increasingly into the development process. But there were more of strong
inhibiting forces namely delayed clearance of projects, delayed funding, delayed
beneficiary identification, defective beneficiary identification, lack of proper
arrangement for training development staff, panchayat authorities' inability in

decision making, hasty implementation of projects, resources could not be made
available to people at fight time, political polarization, inadequate monitoring,
inadequate evaluation, and inadequate follow up of programmes, and the
respective most important solutions mooted were timely allocation of funds,
removing the delay in treasury transaction, more publicity for Gramsabha,
selecting beneficiaries based on their felt needs, a befitting training curriculum,
guiding the panchayat authorities by technically qualified people, timely clearance
of projects, timely allocation of funds, a common development agenda, carrying
out monitoring in a phased manner, including technical persons in the evaluation
committee, and the need for market linked comprehensive projects. The
understanding gained in the present study could enable decision making in
streamlining the new model ofPanchayati Raj as well as AHD.
