This document discusses participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and related methodologies. PRA involves local communities in the assessment of their needs and resources through participatory techniques. It aims to gather qualitative information in a bottom-up, flexible manner. Some key PRA techniques discussed include participatory mapping, seasonal calendars, wealth rankings, and semi-structured interviewing. PRA seeks to overcome some limitations of earlier rapid rural appraisal approaches by increasing participation and incorporating local knowledge. Related methodologies like participatory technology development also take collaborative, community-based approaches.
This document provides an overview of participatory rural appraisal (PRA). PRA is a bottom-up approach that involves local communities in the analysis of their situation. It uses flexible and visual tools like mapping, modeling, diagrams and rankings to facilitate discussion. The key principles of PRA are participation, flexibility, optimal ignorance and triangulation of data. Some techniques include semi-structured interviews, participatory mapping, seasonal calendars and wealth rankings. PRA aims to ensure projects address local priorities by learning from rural people's own analysis of problems and solutions.

Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is a set of approaches and methods that allow local communities to share and enhance their knowledge about life and conditions in order to plan and take action. The key principles of PRA include respecting local knowledge, involving disadvantaged groups, collecting only necessary data, visualizing information for communities, and ensuring analysis is done in the field with communities. PRA uses various tools like interviews, group discussions, seasonal calendars, flow diagrams, timelines, wealth rankings, maps, observations, Venn diagrams and matrices to involve communities in understanding issues.

Participatory rural appraisal tools and techniquesAshish Murai
Lack of participation from the intended users of technologies leads to technological, management and extension gaps in the field of agriculture. Therefore, participatory techniques and tools have evolved to capture the farmer’s perspective for technology development and extension. Participatory Rural Appraisal is a mix of tools and techniques that help in looking at the farms from farmer's perspective.
Mass media incorporates all mediums through which information is distributed to the masses. It is categorized into 7 branches introduced over time - print, recorded music, films, radio, television, newspapers, and the internet and mobile. Mass media aims to attract the largest possible audience. It functions to inform, build consensus, entertain, advertise, and promote development. While it can reach many people quickly and at low cost, it also has disadvantages like being difficult to make local or lacking feedback. Mass media plays a vital role in agriculture by communicating information to farmers. It includes newspapers, magazines, television programs, films, and now increasingly the internet and mobile phones.
This document introduces several participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques used by development practitioners to involve local people in analyzing rural situations. It describes seasonal diagrams which identify seasonal trends in agriculture issues. It also explains matrix ranking and scoring which allows farmers to compare and rank different products/services. Finally, it outlines problem censuses where local farmers act as facilitators to identify key problems and information needs to help design responsive extension activities.
This document discusses various participatory approaches used in extension work including rapid rural appraisal (RRA), participatory rural appraisal (PRA), participatory learning and action (PLA), participatory action research (PAR), participatory assessment, monitoring and evaluation (PAME), and farmer system research (FSR).

Their extension roles include conducting on-farm trials, demonstrations, training programs, and providing advisory services to farmers.
The document summarizes the role of various frontline extension systems in India established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). It discusses programs such as National Demonstrations (1966), Operational Research Projects (1972), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (1974), Lab to Land (1979), Frontline Demonstrations, Technology Assessment and Refinement, National Agricultural Technology Project (NATP), Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA), National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP), and the Horticultural Mission. The primary roles of these programs were to demonstrate new agricultural technologies to farmers, test technologies in farmers' fields, train extension workers and farmers, and disseminate improved practices to increase production and incomes.
Brief Introduction to PRA
PRA originally stood for Participatory Rural Appraisal, but its applications are in many, many contexts besides rural, and good practice is far more than just appraisal.
PLA stands for Participatory Learning and Action. As a term it is often used interchangeably with PRA.
Appraisal – The finding out of information about problems, needs, and potential in a village or in any settlement. It is the first stage in any project.
The document summarizes the key points of India's various Five Year Plans as they relate to animal husbandry development. The Planning Commission was established in 1950 to formulate these Five Year Plans to promote economic development, increase production and employment opportunities. Each successive plan outlined goals and initiatives for the agricultural sector including animal husbandry and dairy, poultry, livestock and fisheries development through programs such as establishing veterinary hospitals and breeding centers. The plans achieved varying levels of success in meeting their economic growth targets.

Problem Solving and Decision Making - II.pptxMukeshReddy62
The document discusses a mentorship program focused on problem solving and decision making. It provides guidance on using a decision making matrix to systematically evaluate alternatives and select the best option. The matrix involves listing options and important factors, scoring each option, assigning weights to factors, multiplying scores by weights, and selecting the highest scoring option. The document also discusses creating action plans with SMART goals and milestones to implement solutions. It emphasizes the importance of ongoing monitoring to ensure plans are on track and make adjustments if needed.
This document discusses decision making in nursing. It defines decision making as a systematic process of choosing among alternatives and putting the choice into action. Clinical decision making in nursing requires thoughtful reasoning to choose the best options for a client based on their condition and priority needs. The stages of decision making are orientation, conflict, and emergence. Principles of decision making include being purpose-driven, inclusive, educational, voluntary, self-designed, flexible, egalitarian, respectful, accountable and time limited. Common models of decision making are the descriptive, economical, and bounded rationality models. The document also outlines the decision making process and important decision making tools used in nursing.
The document discusses the importance of evaluating community programs to determine their effectiveness and how they can be improved. It presents a framework developed by the CDC to help organizations systematically evaluate their programs. The framework includes six steps: engaging stakeholders, describing the program, focusing the evaluation design, gathering credible evidence, justifying conclusions, and ensuring use and sharing lessons learned. It also outlines standards for high quality evaluations, organized into categories of utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy. The framework is intended to provide a practical, non-prescriptive tool for organizations to evaluate their community programs.
The document provides an overview of program design, monitoring and evaluation. It discusses conducting needs assessments to understand community needs and priorities. It also covers developing a causal pathway framework to link program activities, outputs, and outcomes. Monitoring and evaluation are presented as important parts of the process to determine what is working and how programs can be improved.
Lesson 9 communication and positive working practicesHCEfareham
This document discusses communication, positive working practices, and supporting individuals with disabilities. It begins by defining communication and identifying alternative forms. It then discusses positive working practices like needs-led assessment, valuing diversity, and person-centered planning. These practices empower individuals, promote their rights, and help services meet their needs. The document also discusses assessing an individual's needs and creating a transport plan to take a service user shopping while empowering them based on their circumstances.
The document discusses various concepts related to health planning including strategic planning, situational analysis, problem identification, priority setting, options appraisal, cost-effectiveness analysis, force field analysis, programming and documentation, logframe analysis, and monitoring and evaluation. It provides examples of how these concepts can be applied to improve the health of mothers and children in a given population with a limited budget.
This document discusses approaches to measuring social impact and outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of:
1) Understanding the full story and theory of change behind social initiatives, not just counting outputs.
2) Engaging stakeholders in identifying objectives and indicators to measure performance and impacts on people, the economy and environment.
3) Using measurement as an ongoing process of learning, improvement and accountability rather than just reporting, through tools like social accounting, balanced scorecards and impact mapping.
While this list represents the desirable attributes of indicators most useful for these purposes, it is recognized that few indicators are likely to meet all of these criteria.
Hence, these criteria serve as a benchmark for weighing the potential costs and benefits of selecting one indicator over another.
The document outlines an agenda for a 4-day training curriculum on impact evaluation, covering topics such as causal inference, evaluation design, sample design and data collection, and indicators and questionnaire design. Key aspects of impact evaluation discussed include developing a results chain to map inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes; creating SMART indicators; and designing surveys with valid, reliable, and sensitive question types. The training aims to provide participants with the tools and knowledge to properly implement impact evaluations of development programs.
This document discusses the context of decision making and the importance of involving stakeholders. It defines stakeholders as any person, group, or organization with interest in a policy or program. The document introduces tools for stakeholder analysis and engagement to identify stakeholders, understand their roles and resources, and effectively involve them. Decision making is influenced not just by data, but also political and other contextual factors. Involving stakeholders can strengthen decision making by providing different perspectives and understanding realities of service delivery.

This document summarizes a case study conducted in 1943 on the diffusion of hybrid seed corn among farmers in Iowa. The study found that while hybrid seed corn provided significant yields increases, it took farmers an average of 9 years from first learning about the innovation to its full adoption. Farmers progressed through stages of innovation decision making, and relied heavily on interpersonal networks and neighbor experiences to persuade them at different stages. The spread of hybrid corn adoption resembled a "social snowball" effect within the farming communities studied.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. SOLUTION ASSESSMENT
Solution assessment and
validation is the process of ensuring
that the solution built will match the
requirements of problem solving.
It may be performed on a
single solution or be used to compare
multiple proposed solutions to
recommend the best course of action
to be proposed
3. MEANING
SOLUTION in general is a
response or coping mechanism which is
specific to the problem or situation. It is
the outcome of problem solving process.
For obtaining any solution
first the problem is defined clearly and
then should come out with alternative
solutions. Then the finally decided
solution need to be assessed.
4. Assessment generally means gathering,
interpretation and the use of information to support
the decision making of the solution finalised.
6. HOW TO ASSESS THE SOLUTION?
METHOD
• We can go for a Ranking Criteria Matrix
WHAT IS IT
• This is a PRA method, where all the solutions are listed, and
matched again certain acceptable criteria. where the people
come out with their own criteria and own ideas which suits to
their local conditions.
9. How is this exercise carried out?
• Ask the people to come with their own soultions and
their own criteria.
• Later the PRA Facilitator (team) can add at the end, if
people agreed to add that criteria to their proposed
list.
• Ask if they want to consider the criteria to be not only
socially acceptable but also technically sound and
financially viable and manageable
10.
11. PARTICIPANTS:
All those who are concerned with the problem
in question can be invited to participate.
PURPOSE:
Selecting the most suitable solution for the
implementation in order to resolve a pressing problem
identified through “NSL Chart”.
12. EXPECTED OUTCOME:
The most suitable solution to
the problem in question emerge through
people’s consensus which is based on
their scoring and ranking
13. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN
Clear understanding of the method is important.
The PRA facilitator can start the participatory
analysis of the solutions based on the criteria evolved by
people, only after making sure that everyone has
understood the method, and purpose of the exercise.
People can suggest if there are any other more
scientific way of assessing the appropriateness of the
solution.
14.
15. Under this PRA tool, all the problems were discussed
with the farmers for all possible reasons using top down
approach.
It is a short dendogram analysis of the problem by the
farmers.
The possible solution for each cause will be discussed
with the farmers.
These causes and solutions were later discussed with the
subject matter specialist before the finalization of the
tree.
18. Problems identified were categorized as problems
arising out of gaps in research in various agricultural
disciplines and as problems arisingout of gaps in
extension activities.
After getting all the information about resources
available in the village it was realized that some
opportunities lies in the village itself.
Thus Extension workers and villagers should focus
on such opportunities for betterment of livelihood.
19. SOLUTIONS IDENTIFIED COLLECTIVELY
1. Eichhornia crassipes as composting materials.
2. Lotus cultivation in pond and swampy area.
3. SRI method of rice cultivation for higher productivity.
4. Diversified vegetable cultivation for enhancing farmer income.
5. IFS for efficient use of on-farm resources and its efficient management.
6. Scientific pisciculture for year round income.
7. Livestock breed up- gradation through Artificial Insemination
8. Cultivation of fodder grass (para grass) to meet feed requirement of cattle.
9. Bio gas production to meet rural energy need (cooking/lighting etc)

21. Making a Decision by Weighing Up Different Factors
Decision Matrix Analysis is a useful technique to
use for making a decision. It's particularly powerful
where you have a number of good alternatives to
choose from, and many different factors to take into
account.
This makes it a great technique to use in almost
any important decision where there isn't a clear and
obvious preferred option.
22. How to Use the Tool
Decision Matrix Analysis works by getting
you to list your options as rows on a table, and the
factors you need consider as columns. You then score
each option/factor combination, weight this score by the
relative importance of the factor, and add these scores
up to give an overall score for each option.
23. 1. List all of your options as the row labels on the table, and list the factors
that you need to consider as the column headings.
2. Next, work your way down the columns of your table, scoring each option
for each of the factors in your decision. Score each option from 0 (poor) to 5
(very good). Note that you do not have to have a different score for each
option – if none of them are good for a particular factor in your decision,
then all options should score 0.
24. 3. The next step is to work out the relative importance of the factors in your decision.
Show these as numbers from, say, 0 to 5, where 0 means that the factor is absolutely
unimportant in the final decision, and 5 means that it is very important. (It's perfectly
acceptable to have factors with the same importance.
4. Now multiply each of your scores from step 2 by the values for relative
importance of the factor that you calculated in step 3. This will give you
weighted scores for each option/factor combination.
5. Finally, add up these weighted scores for each of your options. The option
that scores the highest wins!
25. Example
A caterer needs to find a new supplier for his basic ingredients.
He has four different options.
Factors that he wants to consider are:
Cost.
Quality.
Location.
Reliability.
Payment options.
26. Firstly he draws up the table shown in figure 1, and scores each
option by how well it satisfies each factor:
Figure 1: Example Decision Matrix Analysis Showing Unweighted Assessment of
How Each Supplier Satisfies Each Factor
27. Next he decides the relative weights for each of the factors. He
multiplies these by the scores already entered, and totals them.
Figure 2: Example Decision Matrix Analysis Showing Weighted Assessment of
How Each Supplier Satisfies Each Factor
28. • This makes it clear to the caterer that Supplier 4 is the best
option, despite the lack of flexibility of its payment options.
30. INTRODUCTION
The community can get goods and services from
different places.Some resources will be available with in the
surroundings, others on the boundaries of the community.
People daily, weekly and occasionally fetch for
those resources in and out of their area. Therefore they travel long
distances under difficult situations.
31. PURPOSE
• The diagram is used to understand the places traveled,
resources collected and to identify the persons travelling. The
resource centers could have problems and the road and means
of transportation may not be appropriate.
• PRA team needs to know the critical goods and services that
people travel to fetch for.
32. WHO & HOW?
The PRA team identifies individuals or groups who
travel to other places on a purpose. Discussion with men and
women travelers can give a clue about resource scarcity.
Select informants who travel for resources
Write down as many places as possible visited and resources
the most wanted.
The difficulties faced on the way and at the destination are
discussed
The informants mark on the ground the starting point and
destination for different resources or services.
33. APPLICATION
The PRA team and informant record resources in short
supply and the reasons for not having in the community and
prepares the action plan.
The community action plans include
ways and means to get critical resources in the future.
The difficulties faced on the road and at the resource center
(destination) taken due consideration for improvement.
34. UTILITY
• Understand the mobility pattern of local people: where do
they go and for what?
• Increase gender sensitivity and awareness through highlighting
the differences in the mobility patterns of men and women
• Evaluate the impact of certain interventions by noting their
effects on mobility patterns
• Plan for intervention and projects
35. Example of a mobility map
Villagers created a map of Saltarpalli village in Orissa of the 15
places they visit. It details
• How often they visit each place (each day, every 3 days, etc.),
• The distance from the village, the mode of transport (bus or
walk, with or without men),
• Purpose of visit (healthcare, post office, market, etc.), and
• The accessibility of the place, which largely depends on its
size.
• The participants also discussed the gender analysis of mobility
patterns of man and women in the village
