Abstract

Knowledge is the key to development and growth. It creates foundation for speedy adoption of agricultural innovations among the farmers. Millet being the most relevant crops of recent times, attracted farmers back to its cultivation. Extension systems initiated various programmes focusing on the increase in millet production and quality. Prior to this it is imperative to assess the knowledge level of the farmers about millet cultivation practices. With this background, the study was conducted to construct the knowledge test to determine the knowledge level of the Millet farmers in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The steps viz. selection of items, item analysis and pre testing, calculation of difficulty index, discrimination index and point bi-serial correlation, final selection of the items and also testing its reliability and validity were followed to develop a standardized knowledge test. The final knowledge test retained 32 items out 50 raw items. The test was found to be significantly reliable and valid which was indicated by high significant value of reliability coefficient and content validity.
