During last five decades, the country has witnessed spectacular progress in agricultural total food production. It is testimony to resilience of Indian agriculture and the manifestation of the hard work of farmers, extension workers, scientists and administrators. The strong agricultural research and education system coupled with appropriate extension support have helped in achieving the food sufficiency to meet the increasing food demands despite growing population. The goal of sustainable agriculture envisages focused strategy towards adopting a regionally differentiated approach, development and transfer of appropriate technologies, improvements of input use efficiency, incentives for agriculture, risk management and entrepreneurship developments.

A sample size of 120 ATMA beneficiary respondents were selected based on random sampling method. Data were collected from the respondents personally by using pre-tested and structured interview schedule. Simple percentage was used for analyzing and interpreting the data. The data revealed that the different activities of ATMA programme nearly three- fourth (74.17 per cent) of the respondents participated more in commodity interest group meetings, followed by demonstration programme (65.00 per cent), training programme (57.50 per cent). This might be due to the fact that everyone has the common purpose of improving their standard of living, the beneficiaries have feeling of responsibility and involve themselves to the fullest in the ATMA activities this might have resulted in the regular frequency of participation.
