The present study entitled “ Utility Perception of Villagers about E-Class dugout type Farm Ponds (100 mts. x100 mts.) under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan in Akola district ” was carried out as Research Review Committee Project for the year 2017-2018 in Akola district of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The main objective of this study was to study the utility perception of the villagers about E-Class dugout type farm ponds. An exploratory social research design was used. For this study Akola district is purposely selected because dugout type farm ponds on available E-Class land of villages were dugout only in Akola district of Maharashtra under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan"for recharging ground water level From Akola district 10 E-Class dugout type farm ponds of 100 mts. x100 mts. size were selected randomely from 10 villages those dugout during 2015-2016 by the District Supritendent Agriculture Office, Akola, Small Scale Irrigation Division, Akola and Minor Irrigation Division, Z.P. Akola. From each selected E-Class dugout type Farm-Pond Village 12 villagers were selected randomely. Thus this investigation was confined to a sample of 120 villagers for computing the utility perception of E-Class dugout type farm ponds under Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan . This research study clears that out of the total selected villagers 90.00 per cent villagers have express high level of utility perception about the E-Class dugout type farm ponds (100 mts. x100 mts.) constructed under the Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan in their villages. Also majority of the selected villagers suggested that at inlet side of the ponds some erosion control structure should be provided to control deep gulley formation. Hence it is recommended that the Developmental departments/agencies should construct E-Class dugout type Farm Ponds (100 mts. X 100 mts.) under the Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyanin all districts of Maharashtra for recharging ground water level.
