Abstract:

The present study was carried out in Kolar district in Karnataka state during the year 2018-19 to analyze the attitude of farmers towards livelihood diversification. One hundred and fifty farmers were personally interviewed using a pre-tested schedule. The results revealed that the farmers had favorable attitude towards livelihood diversification. Majority of farmers (70.67%) were motivated from their friends to practice livelihood diversification and more than three-fourth (79.33%) of the farmers expressed that due to less income from cropping they are practicing livelihood diversification. The results of the path analysis revealed that extension participation had direct and indirect effects in developing favourable attitude towards livelihood diversification.
