The study was carried out in Rajiv Gandhi South campus Barkachha Mirzapur. Vindhyan hills of Mirzapur district have great diversity in parent-material, topographic situation, natural vegetation, drainage condition etc. The soils of Vindhyan region are residual in natural and formed on different kinds of parent materials under variable topographic and drainage condition. Hence, a comparative study of soil micro-morphological characters, pedological features, micro- macro fauna activities in relation to soil formation of these soil, is of great scientific value as well essential for appraising the fertility status of these soil. The climate of Vindhyan region is predominantly dry (subtropical to dry), winter season is short (December to February) but summer is long (March to October). Five plots were ran...

It refers to technologies that, through telecommunications, provide access to information. It is similar to Information Technology (IT) but focuses mostly on technologies of communication. This includes the internet, mobile phones, cellular networks, and other forms of communication. This implies that we now have more chances to use ICT in teacher training programs and improve teacher quality for teaching effectively. Information and communication technology is a discipline and management methodology in science, technology, and engineering used in the managing, implementation, and interaction of information with social, economic, and cultural matters. In our culture, teachers are the main part of the educational sector. He works further in every sector to increase our society's degree of change. In the form of a good social worker, politician, author, philosopher, etc., for society. Today's teacher education organizati...

Conservation agriculture (CA) technologies involve minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover through crop residues or cover crops, crop rotations for achieving higher productivity and helps to improve biodiversity in the natural and agroecosystems. CA improves soil water use efficiency, enhances water infiltration, and increases insurance against drought. CA provides a base for sustainable intensification of the agricultural production system. Thus, CA is based on the integrated management of soil, water and agricultural resources in order to reach the objective of economically, ecologically and socially sustainable agricultural production. However, there are still constraints for promotion of CA technologies, such as lack of appropriate seeders for small and medium farmers, burning of crop residues etc. The need to de...

This is the time when more people everywhere are involved in acquiring new knowledge and skills. We cannot work in the society without on-line technology. The need of ICT interventions are felt need of the hour in agriculture as rural areas mostly depend their socioeconomic growth with agriculture. Rural India needs a very strong and innovative intervention to take a giant leap forward "Connecting India", with focus on rural connectivity is one such intervention, which can help, ignites the rural creativity to achieve its potential by integrating them in global market.Keeping this in view, a study was conducted assess the socioeconomic impact of use the mobile phone technology (ICTs) among the farmer in Merta block of Nagaur district of Rajasthan. A total of 110 respondents were selected for the study. This finding has shown that the majority of maximum number of respondents (14.54%) used Kisan mela on regular basis followed by agriculture officer (7.27 %), the another result showed 69 per cent farmers used input dealers on regular basis followed by progressive farmer (64.54 %), neighbours (55.45%) and the various level of mass media sources TV was used on regular basis by majority of the farmers (30%) followed by newspaper (29.09%). However, 62.72 and 48.18 per cent respondents reported that they used TV and radio on occasional basis for agricultural information.

Mobile phone technologies have provided a good platform for farmers to share their knowledge and information among each other in time such as weather information, crop and variety selection, fertilizer and irrigation management, disease and pest management market prices of the product and ongoing government programmes. Keeping this in view, a study was conducted assess the utilization pattern of mobile phones for sharing agricultral information among farmers in Merta block of Nagaur district of Rajasthan.A total of 110 respondents were selected for the study. This study has show that a majority (83.63%) of the farmer used call to retailorthan call to relative farmer (80%), internet user (29.09) and perceived as most information on weedicide, pesticide & disease control (89.9%) through mobile phones. The correlation studies indicate a significant association between educations, with extension agency contact and mass media of the farmer. The analysis the poor connectivity, economic problem, high cost internet services and lack of updated information were some of the problems reported by the respondents.

However, there are still constraints for promotion of CA technologies, such as lack of appropriate seeders for small and medium farmers, burning of crop residues etc. The need to develop the policy frame and strategies is urgent to promote CA in the region. In Rajasthan, high intensity and erratic rains associated with poor soil permeability creates excessive runoff and severe erosion hazards. In this region farmrainwater harvesting can be done. Low and highly unstable crop production and rapidly falling groundwater levels are the major challenges to be tackled in semi-arid rainfed areas. This paper reviews the emerging concerns of conventional agriculture systems, and analyses the constraints, policy issues and research needs for conservation agriculture in Rajasthan.

Looking at the unparalleled importance and applicability of ICT tools, a study was conducted in Baberu and Kamasin blocks of Banda district of Uttar Pradesh with 120 farmers to assess the utilization of ICT tools for agriculture purposes. The Ex-Post-Facto research design and multi-stage random sampling technique was used. It was found that cent percent of the respondents are using mobile phone as an ICT tool. Vast majority of the respondents (85.50 %) has been using the mobile phones to call Kisan helpline regularly. Also, 41.67 per cent of farmers were found to be using WhatsApp application for agricultural purposes. Majority of the respondents (79.17%) in the selected are getting farm information (seed and sowing) through ICT. Thus, the study revealed a growing acceptance and use of ICT tools among the farmers of Banda district similar to the pattern of many progressive distrICT across Uttar Pradesh.

When properly used, various ICTs are said to help increase access to education, boost the relevance of education to the increasingly digital workplace, improve the quality of education and raise educational standards. The present study was conducted to find out the impact of ICT on the agricultural education of University students. Two hundred thirty-five students were selected based on the proportion to the size of the population from four SAUs. The impact of ICTs on the students was measured based on the major purpose served by ICT enabled instructional process i.e., its impact on Research (Thesis/Dissertation/Article), Preparing and keeping up-to-date subject information, or Seminar/Workshop/Conference, Assignment and Project, Data Analysis, andConcept understanding.Each purpose was further analyzed based on three quality/attributesof ICTs in the educational process i.e.,Time-saving, Accuracy, and Ease. Each of these attributes was measured in a five-point continuum of agreement-disagreement. Close to half (49.4%) of the students strongly agreed, with the impact of ICTs on the time-saving aspect for research (Thesis/Dissertation/Article) purpose, 41.27 per cent of the students agreed, with the impact of ICTs on time-saving for Preparing and keeping up-to-date subject information,34.9 per cent of the students strongly agreed, with the impact of ICTs on time-saving for the Seminar/Workshop/Conference purpose, 39.6 per cent of the students strongly agreed with the impact of ICTs on time-saving for Assignment and Project purpose, 51.10 per cent of the students strongly agreed, with the impact of ICTs on time-saving for Data Analysis, On time-saving for Concept understanding it is seenthatthe majority (30.60%) of the students agreed, with the impact of ICTs.
