Solar energy technology is very important tool which can lowers worldwide carbon emissions. The present study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. There are total sixteen tehsils in Jaipur district of Rajasthan, out of which, two tehsils namely Chomu and Amber were selected on the basis of maximum number of installed of solar pump. Ten villages from each selected tehsils were selected randomly by using proportional allocation technique. One hundred twenty (120) farmers were selected from twenty selected village by using proportional allocation technique. | Knowledge of solar energy technology by the farmers of Jaipur district in Rajasthan, India (2020) 9(3): 660-663 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 3 (2020) Journal homepage: Original Research Article Knowledge of Solar Energy Technology by the Farmers of Jaipur District in Rajasthan, India Neelesh Raghuwanshi, Jagdish Prasad Yadav, Ajit Kumar Ghoslya*, Vikas Kumar and Sita Ram Bijarnia Department of Extension Education, SKNAU, Jobner, India *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Solar energy technology is very important tool which can lowers worldwide Keywords carbon emissions. The present study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. There are total sixteen tehsils in Jaipur district of Rajasthan, out Solar energy, knowledge, of which, two tehsils namely Chomu and Amber were selected on the basis technology of maximum number of installed of solar pump. Ten villages from each Article Info selected tehsils were selected randomly by using proportional allocation technique. One hundred twenty (120) farmers were selected from twenty Accepted: selected village by using proportional allocation technique. The study 05 February 2020 clearly showed that that majority of solar pump users ( per cent) Available Online: 10 March 2020 belonged to middle level of knowledge, followed by high level of knowledge ( per cent). Whereas per cent solar pump user were belonged to the low level of knowledge, respectively. Introduction provided for heating and cooking energy needs. Other sources of energy such as Agriculture requires energy as an important windmills and water mills were present but input to production. Agriculture uses energy their overall contribution was marginal and directly as fuel or electricity to operate for very .
