Altogether, 200 farmers were randomly selected from four villages of the selected blocks. The </em><em>results of the study revealed that the average monthly family expenditure increased as the land size increased, </em><em>except in the case of medium-sized farm-holders, as the average family size was larger than that of small-sized </em><em>farm holders. The percentage of expenditure was found to be more on food; it was found that the percentage </em><em>of the amount spent on food decreased as the income increased. The percentage of expenditure on food items </em><em>decreased with the increase in holding size.</em></p>2024-10-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/https://mail.extensioneducation.org/index.php/jee/article/view/1601Determinants of Knowledge Level on Kiwi Cultivation Practices in Phek District of Nagaland2024-08-30T04:25:40+00:00Sesote ü Merosesoteumero@gmail.comDeepa Thangjamdeepa@nagalanduniversity.ac.in<p><em>The paper examines the knowledge level of kiwi growers and its determinants in Nagaland.

This </em><em>study focuses on 150 rural farmers in Assam’s Dibrugarh District, exploring their socioeconomic characteristics, </em><em>marketing practices, factors influencing these practices and the barriers they experience. The rapid sale of </em><em>vegetables, driven by their perishable nature, emerged as the most influential factor in farmers’ marketing </em><em>practices. It was found that farmers face various barriers like perishability of vegetables, limited access to </em><em>ICT tools and low level of knowledge. Findings revealed a significant association between socioeconomic </em><em>characteristics and marketing practices.</em></p>2024-10-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/https://mail.extensioneducation.org/index.php/jee/article/view/1404Empowerment of Women through Microfinance in Chikmagalur District of Karnataka2023-12-28T01:11:09+00:00Shobha Sshobhamerlin8@sdmcujire.inSumathi Dhandapanisumathi_rm@avinuty.ac.inMeenakshi Smeenakshi_extn@avinuty.ac.in<p><em>The present study was carried out to analyse the indicators of women empowerment and </em><br /><em>evaluate the effectiveness of microfinance on women empowerment.
