The districts and the tahsils both were selected randomly. Two blocks from each district and six Gram Panchayat with 8 members from each block selected randomly. Thus, a total of 192 Gram Panchayat members from 24 villages were selected for the study. Data was collected by personally interviewing the respondents with the help of a specially designed and pretested schedule.

It was observed that the majority of the respondents were from middle age, having education up to primary school level, belonging to Scheduled Tribe caste category, “labor and agriculture + labor” as their main occupation, landless and untrained. Annual income, socio-economic status, social participation, achievement motivation, mass media exposure, and cosmopoliteness were medium.
