About this title

Synopsis

The Thesis Book M.Sc. (2018-20) examines the adoption potential of two innovative livelihood technologies like Kadaknath poultry farming and oyster mushroom production in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. To assess the likelihood and extent of technology uptake, the ADOPT (Adoption Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool) model was used. A total of 120 stakeholders (60 per technology) were selected, including researchers, progressive farmers, business personnel, and self-help groups, who were directly engaged in the FLD process. The model provided projections on adoption percentage and time required to reach peak adoption levels, based on various influencing variables.
