Abstract:
The establishment of kitchen gardens is an important component of the
activities of the Applied Nutririon Programme. Popularisation of kitchen garden
depends to a large extent on the attitude of rural women towards it. Therefore,
an attempt was made to construct a scale to measure the attitude of rural women,
participating in the Applied Nutrition Programmes in Trivandrum District, towards
kitchen gardens. A draft scale was prepared and modified on the basis of the
suggestions made by the experts, field workers, house wives etc. Final selection
of the statements was made by administering the draft scale on a random sample
of 100 women and critical ratio was found out and the reliability and the content
validity of the scale were also determined.
