Impact of transfer of technology project (ISOPOM) implemented by IIPR

Abstract

Several technologies have been transferred through various projects by using different approaches and methodologies to the farmers of different districts and states. Keeping the above facts in mind, this study was conducted in Kanpur dehat district where ISOPOM project was implemented. The data were analyzed for logical conclusion by using suitable statistical tools. It is revealed from the data that area under pulses has increased especially pigeonpea and chickpea. The farmers have adopted the cluster approach for seed production. The farmers have adopted the pulse production as enterprise. It was observed that majority of farmers (64%) have developed personality traits like confidence, leadership quality, communication skill and convincing ability. Technologies also percolated to the other farmers of villages through society. The farmers sell their produce at NSC and U.P. Beej Nigam by collecting the produce under society. The society has been formed by the farmers under the ISOPOM project with help of IIPR. Overall production and productivity have improved under this project. Non-adopted farmers of other villages were also aspired by seeing the profit to join the cooperative society.
