Published: February 2023

The continuous use of high levels of chemical fertilizers is adversely affecting the sustainability of agricultural production and causing environmental pollution. Therefore, we must find ways to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. The use of organic fertilizers is one of the solutions for sustainable fertility and productivity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, productivity, quality and economics of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.). A field experiment was conducted continuously for 3 winter (rabi) seasons stating from 2007 to 2010 at Jobner, Rajasthan. The experiment consisted of 14 treatments for application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) to cumin, i.e. 30 kg/ha, through different sources, viz. control, fertilizers or organic [farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), vermicompost (VC) and neem cake (NC)] alone or in combinations, was laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications. Based on three years of study the results revealed that in cumin nutrient management through organic sources, fertilizer sources alone or in combination have significant effect on growth, yield attributes, yield, economics, volatile oil content and soil fertility status. The integrated application of 50% RDF through VC + 50% RDF through fertilizers gave higher values of all the growth and yield attributes, viz. plant height, branches/plant, umbels/plant, umbellates/ umbel, seeds/umbellate and test weight to the magnitude of 14.7, 20.9, 34.8, 23.7, 40.7 and 11.3% over absolute control, respectively, closely followed by 100% RDF through fertilizers. Among the different nutrient management practices, significantly highest mean values were recorded for seed yield (474 kg/ha), straw yield (1 221 kg/ha), biological yield (1 695 kg/ha), gross monetary returns (Rupees 75 840/ha), net monetary returns (Rupees 57 861/ha), benefit:cost ratio (3.22) and volatile oil content (3.26%) in treatment with 50% RDF through VC + 50% RDF through fertilizers realizing 75.6, 46.8, 53.8, 75.6, 111.2, 8.6 and 7.9% increase over absolute control, respectively. The significantly highest value of organic carbon (0.28%) was recorded with 100% RDF through FYM, whereas 75% RDF through VC + 25% RDF through fertilizers indicated highest available nitrogen balance (146.5 kg/ha) followed with 50% RDF through VC + 50% RDF through fertilizers (145.3 kg/ha). Therefore, in cumin it can be recommended to apply 50% RDF through VC + 50% RDF through fertilizers, which will reduce the load of chemical fertilizers up to 50%.

Published: February 2023

The guava (Psidium guajava L.) having originated in tropical America and rich in nutrients is extensively cultivated in India. The varieties observed in India are of two types with white and pink pulp. Three white pulp varieties (Allahabad Safeda, Sardar Guava and Apple Colour) and two pink pulp varieties (Purple Local and Thailand) were utilized for crossing and 800 progenies were raised. The ANOVA showed that there is significant variability within the progenies for most of the traits in all the half-sib families. The genotypic variance was observed to be higher than the phenotypic variance for all the characters except TSS indicating non-additive gene action for TSS. Heritability (ns) was observed to be high for all the characteristics except TSS, indicating that heterosis can be exploited for TSS. The genotypic correlation coefficient was observed to be higher than the phenotypic correlation coefficient between pairs of characters, indicating that strong intrinsic correlations are reduced at the phenotypic level. The association of characteristics was observed to be negative between fruit weight and seed hardness, both at the phenotypic and genotypic level, indicating that selecting medium sized fruits would help in isolating progenies with moderately soft seeds. One of the important findings of this study is the co-heritability estimate, which was noticed to be high for all the pairs of characteristics indicates that selection for one character would help in the heritability of the other. Validation of hybridity was carried out using highly polymorphic SSR markers which were selected based on earlier screening at IIHR, Bengaluru. The SSR markers, SSR 220 and 185 gave clear reproducible bands, which clearly confirmed the hybridity of the progenies.
Farmers’ centred approach for area wide implementation of sustainable IPM technology and economic analysis for onion (Allium cepa) during rabi season
Authors: SARDANA H R , BHAT M N
Published: February 2023

Field experiment was conducted in onion (Allium cepa L.) during 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Singoha-Singohi-Rambha, Karnal, Haryana with a view to study the validation, economic viability and feasibility of adaptableand rational IPM technology in a farmers’ driven approach. The IPM technology for onion crop comprised mainlythe raising healthy nursery using raised nursery beds, mixing Trichoderma viride (c.f.u. 2 × 109) fortified in FYM (@50 g/3 sq m), need based spray of urea @ 0.2% or micronutrient mixture to manage yellowing; in main crop -givingadequate irrigation during crop season, and irrigating fields through sprinkler to wash off thrips, spray of spinosadagainst thrips in March ,i.e. bulb initiation stage at 50 DAT, need based spray of fipronil /profenophos, prophylacticspray with mancozeb and need based spray of mancozeb + carbendazim or propiconazole against Stemphylium blight and need based application of sulphur for tip burning due to sulphur deficiency was very effective in reducing the incidence of pests and minimizing the yield losses. The adoption of IPM technology, resulted in reducing the number of chemical sprays to 4-5 from 8-9 in non-IPM fields in a season with higher onion yields of 18.13, 28.62 and 16.0 tonnes/ha in IPM and 16.58, 27.50 and 14.86 tonnes/ha in non-IPM fields and with marginally higher CBR of 1:2.24, 1:4.15 and 1:1.73 in IPM than 1:2.04, 1:3.90 and 1:1.58, respectively in non-IPM. There was a net income increase of ₹5434, 12650 and 11 343 /ha in IPM fields over non-IPM.

Published: February 2023

New innovations and best practices are the key to success, growth and sustenance of horticulture. Research has shown that farmers are a rich source of indigenous knowledge and practice; they experiment, adopt and innovate continuously, therefore documentation of the same may provide insight and role model for the other farmers as well as scientists. Study was framed to document and analyse the best practices of innovative horticultural farmers. A total 35 innovative farmers from ten agro-climatic zones of Karnataka were selected. Data were collected through personal interview of the farmers and participant observations by the researcher. The net returns of farmers ranged between Rupees 1.44 lakh to 277 lakh per annum. The B:C ratio of the enterprises was higher than 1.7, indicating sufficiently higher returns. Farmers had integrated 3 to 6 enterprises, viz. crop husbandry, floriculture, vegetables, fruits, dairy and livestock rearing for efficient use and recycling of farm resources. To increase economic viability of the farms, farmers had integrated production with post-harvest processing, value addition and marketing of the products. The study found that irrespective of farmers' socio-economic backgrounds and agro-ecological conditions, agriculture can be economically viable and sustainable by their innovations; integration of technologies and enterprises; adoption of new technology and overcoming false beliefs. Thus, cases of innovative farmers have shown that innovations, information seeking behaviour, experimentation, new technology adoption, enterprise integration, post harvest processing, market intelligence and marketing linkages were the key factors in making these farmers more successful. Therefore more number of such innovative farmers should be involved in the farmer led extension approach.

A field experiment was conducted at CCSHAU, Hisar during 2011-12 and 2012-13 to evaluate the intercropping of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) in dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) grown for seed during kharif season and their impact on succeeding wheat grown with three levels of nitrogen [50, 75 and 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN)] in split plot design with three replications. The results revealed that 1:1 row ratio of dhaincha and sorghum at 30 cm spacing succeeded by wheat was found most economical and feasible cropping system among all the treatments with highest wheat equivalent yield (7.22 tonnes/ha), system profitability (Rupees 241/ha/day), production efficiency (2.44 tonnes WEY/ha/day), net return (71.4 Ã— 103 Rupees/ha ), B:C ratio (1.32), energy productivity (285.4 kg/ MJ) and apparent nutrient use productivity of 20.3 kg WEY/ha-kg. The 1:1 row ratio of dhaincha with sorghum yielded almost equal seed yield of dhaincha (only 2.8% reduction) with additional yield of 17.8 tonnes/ha sorghum fodder over sole crop. Hence, for seed production dhaincha be sown at 60 cm spacing intercropped with one row of fodder sorghum in between two rows of dhaincha followed by wheat to supplement the income of farmers.

Authors: KUTTY C NARAYANAN , SREELATHA U , PRAMEELA K P
Published: February 2023

Variance components and character association of economic traits were analyzed in 31 genetically diverse genotypes of tropical cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) during 2012-14. Wide range of variability was observed for important economic traits like net head weight, gross plant weight and number of non-wrapping leaves. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for days to harvest. Net head weight showed significant positive correlation with days to harvest, plant spread, gross plant weight, leaf width, leaf length, head width, stalk length and number of wrapping and non-wrapping leaves. The significant positive inter relationships point to the need for simultaneous selection among these characters for improvement of yield. Path analysis showed that gross plant weight, leaf length and head width are the characters to be considered in direct selection for genetic improvement in tropical cabbage.
Renovation not demolition: a case study of saving carbon on a private residence
Authors: Pelly Ralph
Published: February 2023

This article describes a residential project to create a spacious, contemporary family home on the site of a 1960s building, following an early decision to renovate the existing structure, retaining as much of the fabric as possible. The design approach aimed to simplify the form of the building while also improving its thermal performance and airtightness. Existing masonry walls were retained on the front and side elevations, while internal walls were removed to create open-plan living spaces, requiring a steel sway frame to be installed. A new, almost fully glazed rear elevation was created, with the first-floor wall rebuilt in timber frame. Existing foundations, concrete strip footings and the concrete ground-bearing slab were largely retained. A new insulated concrete slab was installed where the ground floor was extended, and concrete was broken out locally to allow the installation of new pads where load concentrations exceeded the capacity of the existing foundations. A carbon assessment indicates that the renovation scheme saved around 45% of the embodied carbon of a hypothetical rebuild scheme, with a footprint of 111kg CO2e/m2 compared with 199kg CO2e/m2 for the rebuild scheme.

The origins of the Lamberg family in Carniola (with an emphasis on the Kamen and Gutenberg family lines)
Authors: Dremelj Luka
Published: February 2023

The Lamberg family appeared in Carniola in the second third of the fourteenth century. Their fertility and shrewd political acumen paved the path to their social ascension and territorial expansion. By the sixteenth century, they had made their way into the most prominent offices in the administration of the Carniolan provincial estates. One of the most competent representatives of the family was Baron Jakob from the Kamen line, who is believed to have written the first family genealogy in 1559. This document, combined with another contemporaneous record, became the main source for future genealogists and historians who uncritically copied it, including the erroneous data that are presented, explained, and corrected in the contribution at hand. Then follows the biographical presentation of the family based on preserved sources. The article also presents the members of the family of ministeriales from Rittersberg, who were presumably the predecessors of the Lambergs.
A memorial of the occupied territory in front of the Rectorate of the University of Ljubljana
Authors: Smiljanić Ivan
Published: February 2023

The article discusses the history of the memorial plaque dedicated to the territory of the Littoral, which Italy occupied after the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920. The plaque was unveiled in Congress Square, in front of the Rectorate of the University of Ljubljana, on the initiative of the Yugoslav Society, an association aiding and supporting Slovenians abroad. The inauguration took place on 20 March 1921, in reaction to Italy’s festivities celebrating the annexation, which was carried out that same day. During the interwar period, several ideas were raised to convert the plaque into a bigger monument, none of which came to fruition. Apart from representing a place of memory, related to the traumatic loss of territory, the plaque also became a place of student political manifestations directed as much against Italy and Fascism as the Belgrade regime and its violence. Standing in the university’s autonomous territory, the plaque fell outside the jurisdiction of the Yugoslav government. It was destroyed and removed during Italy’s occupation at the onset of the Second World War. In 2012, a new memorial plaque was unveiled in front of the university building. However, due to a lack of knowledge about the history of its predecessor, it came to be regarded as a memorial of the Basovizza victims.

PENGARUH RESIKO KREDIT MACET TERHADAP PROFITABILITAS PADA PT. ADIRA MULTIFINANCE
Authors: Nurzaman Willy , Candra Fatihah Dian
Published: February 2023

This study aims to determine how much influence bad loans have on profitability at PT. Adira Multi Finance baleendah bandung branch. The data collection method was carried out by interview techniques and data collection with the subject of financial reports at PT. Adira Multi Finance. Based on the results of the study, it was found that bad loans had an effect on Return On Assets, this was shown by the magnitude of the profitability value (p) = 0.007 which was smaller than 0.05 and t count was 6.476 which was greater than t table of 3.182. This means that bad credit has an effect on Return On Assets. So every time there is an increase in bad loans of Rp. 1,- then the Return On Assets will increase by 0.798. If bad credit occurs, the profit obtained from the financing of assets will decrease and this means that the occurrence of bad credit affects ROA. And also shown by the results of the magnitude of the value of profitability (p) = 0.010 which is less than 0.05 and t count of 5.919 which is smaller than t table of 3.182. This means that bad credit has an effect on Return On Equity. So every time there is an increase in bad loans of Rp. 1,- then Return On Equity will increase by 6.076. If bad credit occurs, the bank will take funds from reserves to eliminate bad loans, these reserves are obtained from profits, and profits are part of the bank's equity. Therefore, the existence of bad credit will affect ROE related to the rate of return on bank capital. The solution suggested to the company, namely a decrease in the quality of productive assets, should receive serious attention. This can be improved through an analysis of various conditions that occur and appropriate policies related to the quality of productive assets, liquidity, and the ability of banks to generate profits.

Integrity of university online assessment: Towards developing a function model
Authors: Muchemwa Stella
Published: February 2023

This world is changing and the old education operation system is no longer compatible with these vicissitudes. Online assessment, that has been enforced by the COVID 19 pandemic and has become a norm in many universities world-wide, is failing to embrace all leaners, thus the need to address it. This content analysis study examined the integrity of online university assessments based on 2020 and 2021 online studies purposively selected from the internet. The researcher used Motivation Theory, Technology Acceptance Model and Self-efficacy Theory whose concepts are key in the changes that this study calls for. Findings revealed two basic operational types of online university assessments: the digitally proctored examinations and the open-access assessment. While affluent nations have smoother transitions and more benefits, developing nations are challenged by students online cheating and resource unavailability. The study concluded that some universities are hesitant to adopt online assessment systems due to lack of awareness, resistant to change and fear of losing examination integrity. The study therefore recommends universities to hold online assessment workshops to equip both the lecturers and the learners. Detecting cheating software can be used to detect students cheating and expenses can be averted by using free online examination software. They can also use Chromebooks for student assessment which can be setup to disable access to browse the web and the external storage during an examination. Above all, a reliable, authentic and cost-effective online assessment model with minimal disruptions, which ensures that no student is left behind, is a necessity.
Effectiveness of teaching student teachers using E-Learning during COVID-19: A glance at inclusive education from the Zambian perspective
Authors: Kumatongo Brighton , Mwansa Patricia , Mweemba Gibson
Published: February 2023

The use of technology as an alternative to traditional teaching during pandemics such as COVID-19 is attracting attention globally. This study sought to explore the effectiveness of teaching student teachers using E-Learning during COVID-19. Hearing students were learning together with students with hearing impairments in an inclusive environment before the closure of an institution. A mixed approach involving concurrent design was used and 193 student teachers who were purposively sampled from Kitwe College of Education in Zambia participated in the study, of which 4 of the participants were hearing impaired. The findings were that 53.9% of the participants had access to e-learning services, whereas 48.1 % had no. The study also revealed that 86% of the participants disagreed to having benefited from e-learning and cited lack of technological devices, poor network and expenses to purchase internet bundles as some of the barriers to e-learning. The study concluded that despite 53.9% of the participants having access to e-learning, 86% of the participants did not benefit from the use e-learning, due to lack of access to internet and expenses to purchase internet bundles, and that students with hearing impairments were disadvantaged due to lack of text and sign language interpretation during e-learning lectures. The study recommended the need to provide free internet bundles to students if e-learning is to be effective, educators record lessons and enable students to access, as well as need to consider students with hearing impairments during inclusive e-learning by providing sign language interpretation and texts.

Mixed mode four-point bending testing is performed on polyurethane foams. This paper presents only the results on the stress intensity factors (SIFs) obtained experimentally for a density of 325 kg/m3 , although tests were done for three foam densities. An asymmetric four-point bending setup was used for determining the critical SIFs in Mode I and Mode II, and discussions on the influence of the initial crack length on the SIF values are done. As initial crack length is increased the theoretical predictions give a better comparison to experimentally obtained results. Mode II testing is also performed on a polyurethane foam as a particular case of mixed-mode four-point testing. Crack initiation and propagation in Mode II depends on the geometrical parameters of the testing configuration. Numerical XFEM simulations are done in order to clarify the situations in which the crack doesn't propagate, and failure is produced in the region of supports. A combined experimental-XFEM analysis is recommended to fully understand the particularities of the behavior of cellular materials.
A Protocol Based on Systematic Mapping Studies for Searching Health Applications in Non-Academic Repositories
Authors: Lima Luis Felipe de , Peres Leticia Mara
Published: February 2023

Systematic mapping studies (SMSs) help obtain an overview of a research topic. SMSs are conducted with protocols that ensure their reliability and allow their replication by other researchers. The focus of an SMS is to identify peer-reviewed articles indexed in academic databases. Therefore, conducting an SMS does not encompass identifying software applications hosted in non-academic repositories. This article presents a protocol for systematic mappings in non-academic repositories (SMNARs). The SMNAR protocol was developed from adaptations of an SMS methodology consolidated in the literature and was aimed at assisting in the search, cataloging, and analysis of health software applications hosted in non-academic application and source code repositories. Thus, part of the adaptations was based on health application search approaches found in the literature. Two SMNAR user guides were developed, one designed for healthcare professionals and the other for software developers. To assess the feasibility of these guides, a study was conducted with participants from the healthcare and computer science fields. This study had both synchronous and asynchronous moments. In the former, a presentation contextualized the SMNAR protocol, proposed guides, and study procedures. In the latter, the participants partially planned and conducted an SMNAR using the proposed guides as support. Online forms were applied to obtain participants' perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention to use the proposed guides. The participants indicated good acceptance of the guides and suggested possible improvements in the protocol description. These results contributed to refining the SMNAR user guides.

The Association Between Sports Participation and Mental Health Across the Lifespan
Authors: Tahira Shazia
Published: February 2023

Context: Mental health problems are extremely common all over the world and contribute significantly to illness and impairments. There is an acknowledged need for interventions that focus on prevention to foster mental health, and to fulfill this need, sports offer a promising way to promote mental health and avoid the beginning of a mental illness. In this study, a literature review is presented about the association between sports participation and mental health across the lifespan. Objectives: To determine the association between sports participation and mental health and get information about the mental health benefits that can be achieved by increased participation in sports, both by the general public and professional athletes at any age. Methods: To conduct the literature review, a search on different databases was carried out for research articles with the key terms "sports participation” and “mental health" to find their association. Results: Participation in sports was found to be positively associated with psychological well-being and connected with fewer mental health problems. Sports participation was associated with higher self-esteem and a lower risk of anxiety, depression, and social-behavioral inhibition in adolescents. Sports participation led to reduced smoking and a type of personality that was resistant to alcohol and drug addiction. Sports club membership, high or moderately frequent sports participation, participation in outdoor sports, team sports, contact sports, and competition were all linked to fewer internalizing problems. Conclusions: Participation in sports is beneficial to the mental health of children, adolescents, and adults. Team sports and sports clubs are especially advantageous for mental health due to social and psychological support. Creating opportunities for sports participation can lead to the promotion of mental health.

Avanos is one of the towns in Cappadocia where is very famous with fairy chimneys and incredible natural beauty. Ürgüp, Göreme and Uçhisar, that are other towns in Cappadocia, are more famous than Avanos, because of the success of management methods of cultural wealthiest. Cappadocia region has natural, historical and cultural site such as fairy chimneys, underground cities, historical buildings from Byzantines, Romans, Seljuk’s and Ottoman Period are the most important values of region. Avanos is also located in this region and it has historical buildings, cultural values like as traditional pottery production, carpet weaving, and natural beauty as fairy chimneys. Town has not been devastated for the tourism. Traditional pottery ateliers are located in center of Avanos and use historical caves for production, selling and exhibition. Municipality of Avanos and local investor want to use this conventional life style in modern pottery ateliers for development of tourism. But they don’t want to lose their traditional lifestyle and historical site. So they develop new method to sustain of the traditional handicraft. They interpret new construction techniques and new material according to traditional pottery ateliers. They construct atelier under the ground, use caves as a historical life style but with modern materials. So today’s comfort condition is not forced to the historical caves. In this way traditional life style is sustain in modern, new ateliers. This paper aim is making evaluation and research of some cases in Anavos. They are constructed in modern style but use traditional pottery production.

Published: February 2023

Konak Square, one of the most important and living squares of Izmir, has hosted different societies, spatial constructions over the years. Although square, which contains many symbolic elements, has been the main center of the city since 18th century, changed constantly and undergone many transformations. Many important historical buildings that make up the identity of square, which has been used as a public sphere since the 19th century, have formed the general character of the square. Although these structures, which are borders from time to time, are changed/destroyed/new ones are built, the square has always remained an important public space. Buildings, some of which are still standing, such as the Government House, Clock Tower, City Hall, old and new Ferry Pier, Yalı Mosque, Anafartalar Street entrance, National Library and Yellow Barracks, have always been the main identifiers of square from their construction to their demolition. Square, which is used extensively by the citizens today, has a great place in urban memory. Area, which was mainly used as an administrative and commercial square in the past, is one of the most important gathering centers of the city today.

Authors: Martínez Mateo Jesús , Martínez Fernández Olga Mª , Morancho Díaz José Ángel
Published: February 2023

Bajo la premisa del «aprender haciendo» se ha planteado el proyecto Creamos un Parlamento a alumnos y alumnas de quinto curso de Educación Primaria. La idea era conseguir que el alumnado se implicara de forma activa en un proceso electoral, desde sus inicios, para acabar constituyendo un Parlamento que llevara a cabo alguna de las funciones que competen a esta institución, al mismo tiempo que se conseguía la interiorización, desde un enfoque competencial, de unos contenidos del currículo de Educación Primaria, ya de por si complicados de entender para niños de estas edades. La experiencia ha resultado un éxito, l l evando a los niños/as a una mejor comprensión de las instituciones de nuestra sociedad y a desarrollar actitudes de colaboración en el trabajo, así como al conocimiento y desempeño con determinadas herramientas informáticas.
Viaje a través del tiempo. Diálogos entre obras de arte
Authors: Jové Monclús Gloria , Olivera Tabeni Olga
Published: February 2023

El trabajo que presentamos está contextualizado en formación de maestros y es fruto del análisis de los trabajos realizados por los estudiantes después de llevar a cabo dos visitas a dos museos de la ciudad de Lleida: la exposición de arte contemporáneo de la Fundació Sorigué y la exposición del Museo de Lleida diocesano y comarcal que reúne las grandes colecciones patrimoniales del territorio. El trabajo consistía en hacer una comparativa entre las dos visitas. Se constata que para los estudiantes fueron dos experiencias vividas de forma diferente. En los resultados obtenidos, emerge con fuerza el pensamiento dicotómico en cuanto a arte clásico/ arte contemporáneo y mostramos como podemos deconstru i r y romper dicho pensamiento y concretar propuestas para que los diálogos y los viajes a través del tiempo formen parte de la educación, de la formación y de la vida.

To expedite the learning process, a group of algorithms known as parallel machine learning algorithmscan be executed simultaneously on several computers or processors. As data grows in both size andcomplexity, and as businesses seek efficient ways to mine that data for insights, algorithms like thesewill become increasingly crucial. Data parallelism, model parallelism, and hybrid techniques are justsome of the methods described in this article for speeding up machine learning algorithms. We alsocover the benefits and threats associated with parallel machine learning, such as data splitting,communication, and scalability. We compare how well various methods perform on a variety ofmachine learning tasks and datasets, and we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of thesemethods. Finally, we offer our thoughts on where this field of study is headed and where furtherresearch is needed. The importance of parallel machine learning for businesses that want to gleaninsights from massive datasets is emphasised, and the paper provides a thorough introduction of thediscipline.
PERCEPTION OF TRIBAL AND NON–TRIBAL DAIRY FARMERS TOWARDS THE DAIRY FARMING IN CHHATTISGARH STATE: STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING APPROACH
Authors: RAVI KUMAR GUPTA, ANINDITA SAHA and DIGVIJAY SINGH DHAKRE
Published: February 2023

Dairy farming is a secondary occupation for millions of farmers in the Central Indian State of Chhattisgarh. This study used the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine how tribal and non-tribal dairy farmers in Chhattisgarh feel about dairy farming and what makes them feel that way. In this study, the data was gathered from dairy farmers during 2020–21. The results of the paired sample t-test showed that both tribal and non-tribal farmers are performing significantly. In the Principal Component Analysis, KMO's sample adequacy test result was 0.724, which means there were enough signs in each element to study. Twelve items of dairy farmers' perceptions were conglomerated into three factors: rational perception, opportunistic perception, and scientific perception. The results of the SEM showed that the absolute fit indices match the sample data and that the proposed model is a good fit because it matches the values of the perception items.
