technological impact assessment of women dairy cooperative
societies (WDCS) on its beneficiaries was conducted in
Haryana state of India, where, under the STEP program
(Support to Training and Employment program), a women dairy
project was sanctioned to start women dairy cooperative
societies. The study assesses the technological impact on
the member dairy women after the introduction of women dairy
cooperatives. A total of 120 members as experimental group
were selected from 15 Women Dairy Cooperative Societies and
60 non-members as control group were selected from the areas
surrounding the selected villages. A comparison was made
between both the groups to find out the impact of WDCS. The
data were collected personally through a well-structured
interview schedule. Regarding the technological aspect, it
was found that the women dairy cooperative societies had a
positive impact on adoption of improved dairy farming
practices.
