populations were randomly selected as the sample of the study by
using
random
sampling method. Thus, 105 farmers constituted the sample of the study. A well
structured interview schedule was developed based on objectives of the study for
collecting information. The researcher himself collected data through personal

of the
farmers belong to the group of moderately favorable attitude towards the program
followed by 43.81 percent in highly favorable group and 7.62 percent in low favorable
attitude group. Annual family income, innovativeness and knowledge about the

of farmers towards 'one
house one farm' program. Farm size and cosmopoliteness had non significant positive
relationships with attitude
