     summary: While discussing the bo�lenecks faced by smallholder farmer groups in the arid and semi-arid lands to raising produc�on and produc�vity, Kamanga (2014) had listed the following areas: 1. Limited to no access to inputs: improved variety seeds, informa�on, crop protec�on inputs, and financial services; 2. Limited skills and knowledge in good agronomic prac�ces required to exploit the full poten�al in improved inputs (par�cularly seeds); As per FAO, 'Family Farming', which includes all family-based agricultural ac�vi�es, is a means of organizing agricultural, forestry, fisheries, pastoral and aquaculture produc�on which is managed and operated by a family and predominantly reliant on family labour.

     summary: According to previous studies in Ethiopia, low adoption of improved production technologies was attributed to unavailability of improved technologies, unavailability and high cost of required inputs, lack of access to and high interest rates on credit and policies that discourage improved technology adoption such as promotion of state farms (Hailu and Chilot, 1992; Bekele et al., 2000; Getahun et al., 2000). Despite the importance of teff in Ethiopia, yields are remarkably low mainly due to low adoption of improved agricultural technologies.

     summary: Despite its importance, some of the areas requiring attention in rainfed farming are lack of reach of improved methods of production and technologies like improved varieties to small millet farmers, lack of organized seed distribution mechanism to supply good quality seeds for small millet crops in accordance with farmers preferences, lack of appropriate post- harvest processing technologies for small millets except finger millets, competition from other market friendly remunerative crops, lack of public procurement and marketing support and lack of available information primarily about small millets, which reduces the ability to introduce policy measures (DHAN Foundation, 2012). The scale developed to measure the attitude of millet farmers would serve to quantify the orientation level of farmers towards changing trend in farming and the data so obtained could be replicated elsewhere to understand the current trend and changing attitude of farmers towards millet cultivation which in turn will help in formulating strategies for encouraging conservation / sustainable farming.

     summary: As for the latter challenge, the major difficulties in extension funding and delivery face happen to be: • problems in establishing the cause & effect necessary to obtain political and financial support and • liability for public service functions beyond agricultural knowledge and information transfer While seeking immediate solutions to these problems, the policymakers in developing countries such as India have difficult choices to make on what public extension should do. In this context, agricultural extension faces two major challenges – information & organization and extension funding & delivery.

     summary: No. Difference Between Z - Score Level of Significance 6625 CONCLUSION From the study, it can be concluded that the awareness level on muga culture among arts, commerce and science stream general college students is not high and significance difference was found among male and female students, rural and urban students, Arts and Science stream students, Arts and Commerce stream students and Science and Commerce stream students. To conserve the muga silkworm, Antheraea assamensis Helfer and thereby providing employment to the youth, youth must have knowledge and information about muga culture whether they are educated or not. Studies on participation of rural youth in sericulture (Viswanatha et al., 2014), adoption of scientific technology by sericulture farmers (Kushwaha and Singhvi, 2013; Sreenivasa, 2014), role of women in sericulture (Upadhyay and Barman, 2013; Goswami and Bhattacharya, 2013; Mech and Ahmed, 2012), comparative study on awareness about sericulture among secondary school students (Ghosh and Saikia, 2017) etc. have been carried out by several researchers but there is no detailed study on awareness on muga culture among college students.
