 ABSTRACT

The World Bank Supported TN IAMP (Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation Project) is a follow up of IAMWARM (Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water-Bodies Restoration and Management Project). Normally Western Ghats are receiving limited average annual rain fall of about 925 mm, lower than the national average 1200 mm. The project will adopt climate-resilient approaches that promotes sustainable use of land and water resources. This study was undertaken in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu state during 2019. Totally 8 villages were selected from the study area. The respondents of 120 TN-IAMP black gram beneficiaries were selected using purposive sampling method. Knowledge is pre-requisite for adoption of an innovation. Crop production technology aspects reveals that (100 percent) of the beneficiaries possessed knowledge. With regard of grading and storage process (57-77 percent) of the beneficiaries were possessed knowledge. It might be observed that majority (81.70 per cent) of the TN-IAMP beneficiaries had medium level of knowledge.
