Need for Self-efficacy

Agriculture in India is the means of livelihood of almost two thirds of the people. It has always been most important economic sector. India's dramatic success in green revolution during 60's makes clear that rural transformation can not be achieved without development of farmer's capability and resource mobilization for agriculture. M.S. Swaminathan, eminent agricultural scientist, reported “The Green Revolution of the 1960s was the result of synergy among technology, public policy and farmers’ enthusiasm”. (The Hindu, 15th August, 2007)
Self-efficacy enhances farmers’ enthusiasm. Self-efficacious farmers can overcome all challenges in agriculture by being more adaptive, innovative and controlled.
