Empowering Women through Agricultural Technology: Evidence from Agricultural Technology Management Agency (Atma) in Mayurbhanj District

Author(s) Ms. SARITA PRUSTY, Prof. Dr. MINATI MALLICK
Country India
Abstract The Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) was introduced in India to decentralize agricultural extension services and make them more participatory, demand driven and farmer centric. In Odisha and particularly in the tribal dominated district of Mayurbhanj, Women farmers play a vital role in agricultural activities. However, they often face systematic barriers to accessing new technologies, institutional support and training. This study aims to evaluate the impact of ATMA on the knowledge enhancement and adoption of modern agricultural practices among Women farmers in Mayurbhanj district. Using a sample of 200 beneficiaries selected through a multi stage sampling technique, primary data were collected through structured interviews, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. The findings reveal a significant improvement in awareness and adoption of modern technologies such as improved seed varieties, Fertilizer and pesticide use and disease control. Despite these gains challenges such as limited access to credit, socio-cultural constraints and lack of gender-specific training modules continue to hinder full participation and benefit realization.
