Not AvailableFarmers' perception about any developmental farming activity is an important input to policy makers/ Government for designing policies for doubling income of farmers. To analyse the perception of farmers towards Integrated Farming System, a scale was developed based on Likert's technique of scale construction. A list of 65 statements, comprising both positive and negative statements indicating the perception of farmers was prepared according to suitability of study. The statements were refined based on the fourteen criteria suggested by Edwards(1957) to reduce ambiguity and the selected 53 statements were sent to 120 judges and experts in the field of Extension research, Education and Integrated Farming Systems for administration and rating. The statements selected were rated on a five point continuum ranging from Most Relevant to least Relevant. For the statements rated by the experts, the Relevancy Weight age (RW) and Mean Relevancy Score (MRS) were worked out individually, and based on this process, the original 53 statements were reduced to 31 statements as remaining were falling below set cut off values. Subsequently the modified scale with 31 statements was administered among forty selected farmers through random selection from the non-sampling areas. The total individual score of subjects was calculated by summing up the response score of each statement given by individual subjects. Based upon the total individual score arranged in descending order, the first 25 per cent of subjects with their total individual scores were considered as high group and last 25 per cent as the low group so that these two groups provided criterion groups in terms of evaluating the individual statements. The 't' values were worked out in order to discriminate the responses of high and low groups for the individual statements. Thus, out of 40 respondents to whom the statements were administered for the item analysis, ten respondents with highest and ten respondents with lowest scores were used as criterion groups to evaluate individual statement. Finally in this process 26 statements with significant discriminating t-values were retained in the final scale with the alpha coefficient value(Cronbach's Alpha) of 0.845, which is reliable for scale construction. The final developed scale can be used to measure farmers' perception in the present context and beyond the study area with suitable modifications.UGC Fellowshi
