Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study the relationship between profile characteristics of youth in farming and the attitude towards farming is discussed. The results revealed that the computed ‘r’ values of education and exposure to training were positively significant with their attitude towards farming at 0.05 level of significance. Annual income, mass media exposure, decision making ability, innovativeness, scientific orientation, management orientation, achievement motivation, economic orientation and risk orientation of youth in farming were positively significant with their attitude at 0.01 level of significance. On the other side the variables like marital status, family type, farm size, material possession and extension contact were found to be non significantly related with the attitude of youth towards farming, whereas age and farming experience were negatively non significant with the attitude of youth towards farming at 0.05 level of significance. The multiple regression analysis revealed that, out of the seventeen variables, annual income and economic orientation had shown positive significant contribution with the dependent variable 'attitude of youth towards farming' at 0.01 level, whereas variables like farm size, decision making ability, innovativeness and achievement motivation had shown positively significant contribution at five per cent level.
