Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to ascertain the effectiveness of result demonstration
program in the transfer of BRRI dhan50 and also to explore the relationships between
effectiveness of result demonstration program in the transfer of BRRI dhan50 and some
of the selected characteristics of the farmers. The study was conducted in three villages
(Narikelbaria,Vupotipur and Chando) of Jhenaidah Sadar Upazilla under Jhenaidah
district. Data were collected from a sample of randomly selected 90 farmers from 1165
farmers. The data were collected by using a structured interview schedule during 24 July
2014 to 20 August 2014. Pearson‟s Product Moment co-efficient of correlation (r) was
computed in order to explore relationships between the dependent and independent
variables. The findings of the study demonstrated that result demonstration program
showed 64.40 percent medium effectiveness while 28.90 percent showed low and 6.70
percent showed high effectiveness to the transfer of BRRI dhan50. Among twelve
