IFPRI organized a two day workshop on “Agricultural Extension Reforms in South Asia – Status, Challenges, and Policy Options” to be organized at Committee Room 3, NASC, Pusa, New Delhi on February 17-18, 2015. IFPRI has been conducting research related to agricultural extension reforms in India and collaborating with researchers in other south Asian countries for the past five years through various projects. For understanding extension reforms in India, a major consultation was held in NAARM in 2009 during which policy makers called for development of evidence for spreading extension reform process in India. Since then several research papers have been produced on various aspects of Indian extension system. While they are presented in various forms including several discussion papers, there is a need to pull all the research result together to present it in form that could be used by the policy makers to further guide them in the reform process. South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are going through similar challenges in getting knowledge to farmers. Several experiment shave been conducted to test new approaches to extension by the public, private and NGO sectors. Learning from each country experiences will bring collective understanding and knowledge for the policy makers who are attempting to bring changes in the reform process. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a groups of researchers, analysts and policy makers to present the issues, constraints and challenges facing agricultural extension reforms that are being implemented in South Asian countries.

Using data from Google Analytics, we looked into factors that are associated with page views among eXtension’s personal finance pages (www.extension.org/personal_finance). Specifically, we utilized Google Analytics data from April 2009 and available Page Analytics numbers (http://pageanalytics.extension.org/ and http://data.extension.org/) produced by eXtension data engineers in the personal finance or Financial Security for All (FSA) Community of Practice (CoP) areas. Top pages with the highest page views per month were selected to look for similar characteristics among these webpages. At the macro level, we will be exploring relevant statistics to our CoP such as search engine utilized, top search keywords, traffic sources, traffic referral, and mobile device access. We also looked into the tendency of page hits associated with the following factors: topic (tag) , average Google search entrances per week, and age of the article. Preliminary log-level regression results show that pages with high numbers of hits tend to have more tags, not a summary of academic research, and be related to managing money in tough times. We shared result implications and limitations based on the results of this study. Besides advanced researches, personal finance academicians need to write on simple and applicable topics, as evident from top search hits (birth certificate, FICA tax, and SMART goals) and less tendencies of research summary articles to get hit. The federal Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) core competencies provide targeted knowledge and action/behavior changes, which in themselves are guidelines for writing topics. Despite being a non-profit organization, eXtension can still take advantage of pro-business properties by having course enrollment and savings as conversion goals.
The survey gathered responses from 724 individuals on important topics in personal finance. The top three most important topics for adults according to respondents were saving for retirement, paying off debt, and budgeting/tracking expenses. Regional differences emerged, with those in the Western US rating themselves more knowledgeable and reporting greater use of adult education and college courses. The survey provided a valuable dataset on information needs to help design effective personal finance programs.

New Mexico State University (NMSU) Employee Council in collaboration with NMSU Cooperative Extension Service is administering a survey to NMSU employees to determine the need for personal financial wellness education for NMSU employees and its ideal format. We expect NMSU to have high needs for employee financial education because New Mexico arguably has the worst personal finance education requirements for high school graduation. Available in Spanish, paper, and online versions, the survey is administered from September 19 to October 31, 2012. Based on results of 151 responses, 64% respondents considered themselves knowledgeable in personal finance topics, but 86% of them stated that they would benefit from learning more about personal finance. Areas of interests include traditional retirement plan (73%), alternative retirement plan (75%), estate planning (92%), retirement planning (91%), investment (88%), and increasing income (88%). About half of respondents (n=75) put down their e-mail address in willingness to participate in further surveys for workshop planning with eight of them reported of having expertise to present at least a personal finance topic. The survey indicates a high need for a personal finance education for NMSU employees and opportunities to get NMSU employees involved its program planning.

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
9
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. Outline
I. Introduction
II. Reporting: Using Google Analytics Data for
Extension Work Reporting
III. Planning: Using Google Analytics for
Extension Programming and Planning
IV. Conclusion
3. I. Introduction
• Originally, GA was designed for business
– E.g. Pages that has the highest hits, leads to the most
revenue
• For Extension, any talks about evaluation need to
revolve around the Logic Model.
– Evaluation is an everyday activity
– Can be done for various stages of you program
• As laid out in the Logic Model
– Can be done for various purposes
– These data can in turn be used for grants and
proposals
4. Logic Model: Evaluation …
…. an everyday activity that can
be done for various stages of
you program
5. Motivation
• Many of Extension activities
nowadays are online based
– As funding has been cut
– As a more efficient way to do
programming
• The issue: How to show the values of
these online-based publications and
activities
– How-To publications, webinars
6. First Steps
• Introduction to Google Analytics
• Installing the Google Analytics
Tracking Code
• Working with Report Data
Interpreting Reports
• Pageviews, Visits, and Visitors
• Time Metrics
• Traffic Sources
• Content Reports
Fundamentals
• Account Administration
• Campaign Tracking and AdWords
Integration
• Analysis Focus - AdWords
• Goals in Google Analytics
• Filters in Google Analytics
• Regex and Google Analytics
• Cookies and Google Analytics
• E-commerce Tracking
• Domains and Subdomains
In-Depth Analysis
• Advanced Segmentation
• Analytics Intelligence
• Internal Site Search
• Event Tracking and Virtual Pageviews
• Additional Customizations
Google Analytics Overview
What we will not discuss today …
7. II. Reporting
• Reporting in Annual Report and Promotion and
Tenure Packet
– Pageviews (or unique)
• Journals brag about their reach and subscription
• Top 5, 10 articles, How-To publications
• How your website (and other Social Media outlet)
has helped your program goals.
– Show that people who visited your site tend to …
– … E.g. visit other .gov resources [from your site],
– … E.g. healthy _______ habit adoption
• Difficult to establish. E.g. high bounce rate ~ obtained
resources or website not useful
Using Google Analytics Data for Extension Work Reporting
10. III. Planning
• Depends on Extension
Online Goals
1. Monetary: Donations,
savings -> very similar to
business model
2. Non-Profit (typical
Extension): Volunteer
sign-up, downloads,
visiting your YouTube
channel, webinar
registration
Two main ways:
1. Just use the metrics
– Usually along with
dimensions &
segmentations
2. These goals need to be
converted into Google
Analytics Goals.
– May involve some tricks.
Using Google Analytics for Extension Programming and Planning
11. 1. Utilize the Metrics Directly
• Use results available directly from GA
• Make sense out of them
– If the youth group has very low site access, …
– If the bounce rate from mobile users is almost
100%, …
– If main search keywords that lead to your side are
“hair extension”, …
• Working in Extension, you have an article on hair
trimming recall.
Planning
12. 2. Using Google
Analytics Goals
Start with
typical
business plan
or Logic
Model. Here
is a business
example.
Easier to
measure due
to $$$.
Planning
13. 2. Using Google
Analytics Goals
Planning
Start with
typical
business plan
or Logic
Model. Non-
businesses
tend to
involve less
$$$ goals –
more difficult.
14. 2. Using Google
Analytics Goals
• A trick is involved
here.
• See “Goal URL”
• In Google Analytics,
you have four ways
to track goals:
1. URLs
2. Time
3. Pages/visit
4. Events
Planning
15. GA Goal Example
• After you have set up
goals (and intermediate
goals) in GA:
• the Funnel Visualization
report will display
perhaps the single most
definitive funnel
performance metric in
Google Analytics: the
Funnel Conversion Rate.
• Goals & funnels are not
retroactive. So, don’t
delay!!!
Planning
18. IV. Conclusion
• GA is not perfect but certainly better than
nothing. It contains valuable information that can
be utilized for site, planning, and program
improvements.
• Start simple. When reporting trends over time,
be consistent. Segment, segment, segment …. for
enriched results.
– You may look back for some of the metrics
– Things will be a lot easier if you’ve planned ahead
with regards to the metrics, dimensions, and
segmentations used.
• Retroactive data: Some data you obtain
retroactively; others no.

* Using Google Analytics for Annual Report and Planning
Fahzy Abdul-Rahman, New Mexico State University
Google Analytics (GA) provides data of website visitors that can be extremely useful. Designed with businesses in mind, GA can still be beneficial for non-business organizations like Extension. The presenter shares ways to include GA statistics in Extension reports, and to utilize GA information for program planning.
Google Analytics provides data of website visitors that can be very useful if utilized in a correct manner. Designed with businesses in mind, Google Analytics can still be beneficial for non-business organizations like Extension. The goals of this article are to explain the importance of including Google Analytics in Extension programming, and to share ways of utilizing Google Analytics for Extension programs.
For people who are not familiar with Google Analytics, it is an online tracking service that provides data and statistics on your websites and their visitors. Data obtained from Google Analytics are very rich, which includes number of visitors, their demographics, time in the day (and night) when people visit your website, keywords search used to enter your website, geographical location from where your visitors accessed your site, and how long people stayed on your website. A full listing of metrics available may be obtained from Google Analytics website.
Before going further into Google Analytics, there are a few clarifications. There are actually various other website tracking or analytics services to obtain visitor data. Other analytic programs include Clicky, GoSquared, Woopra, ShinyStat, Piwik, Mint, and Awstats. Since Google Analytics is by far the mostly used, we will stick to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is relevant to Extension for:
Evaluation: At all these different stage of programming, i.e. boxes
Reporting
Planning
Google Analytics Setup
In order to obtain data from Google Analytics, we need to first include Google Analytics web tracking code program to permit or enable Google Analytics to collect data on your website visitors. This can be done by anyone with basic website knowledge. If you work in organizations with IT personnel like universities, you can ask IT personnel to set up your websites and online materials so that Google Analytics can track their important metrics.
Start simple
If you are unsure about Google Analytics, you should give it a try. A quick way to do so is by testing Google Analytics set up for college websites. If you have a choice, choose sites that have high number of hits such as the college’s website. By playing around with the menu, you should be able to see the metrics and dimensions available for reporting and extension programs.
Journals usually brag about their number of subscriptions to imply the number of people their journals would reach out to. As more publications are getting placed online, Google Analytics provides the ideal platform to see visitors who have landed on your online resources such as your newsletters. In this way, you will be able to obtain visitor information specific to your article, as opposed to printed journal subscription.
Starting simple with Google Analytics also covers starting simple in reporting metrics such as number of visitors to your website and top website visited last year.

Setting Your Goals
One of the main ways businesses are using Google Analytics is by looking into top sites that lead to sales and positive behaviors towards brand loyalty. The positive behaviors could be playing videos related to the company and following the company’s social media accounts (E.g. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook). Since the focus of Extension is not to seek profit, other goals in Extension program may include enrollment in programs and personal savings actually accumulated. The important thing here, like many of your Extension programs, is to set goals for your website. From there, hopefully, you can design ways to evaluate the effectiveness of your website in reaching your goals. With these goals, you can actually measure knowledge and behavior change rate, known in Google Analytics as Conversion Rate.
