Abstract
The study was conducted in two villages of Ramanagara district in Karnataka state to measure the attitude of demonstration and other farmers towards Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs). Sixty FLD/demonstration farmers and forty other farmers were interviewed using a pre-tested schedule. The data were collected through personal interview with the help of pre-tested schedule. The collected data were processed, tabulated, classified and analysed in terms of mean percent scores, ranks, etc. in the light of objectives of the study. There existed a significant difference in the attitudinal levels towards FLD between FLD farmers and non- FLD farmers.
