Abstract

Privatised extension, as one strategy for providing effective service to the farmer, is becoming prevalent in developing countries, including India. A service can go smoothly if the constrains are removed. For that purpose, analysis of constraints is necessary. Keeping this in view, this study has been conducted. Tata Krishi Vikas Kendra (TKVK) of Aligarh district was selected as the study area. A semi-structured interview schedule was prepared for collecting information of the constraints perceived by the stakeholders at (i) organisational level and at (ii) client level. The data of organisational-level constraints were collected from TKVK personnel and those of functional-level constraints from franchisee and member farmers regarding provision of inputs and services. Constraints were analysed on the broad aspects, such as organisational constraints and functional constraints. As all the items were not ranked by all the respondents, the method of combining of incomplete order of merit ranking, as suggested by Garrett, was followed. It has been found that in organisational level job security and in functional level lack of co-operation from existing ground-level organisation ranked in first.
