Most of the respondents were small farmers with 13-32 years of farming experience mostly follow “paddy+ pulses+ oilseed” type of cropping pattern with average farm productivity qt/ha. The average number of livestock and birds population was 9(nine) per family. Majority of respondents having employment of their family members was ranging from per cent to per cent.
