Description This paper has assessed the impact of high-yielding short-duration pearl-millet hybrid on farmers’ income
in the arid region of Rajasthan. The decomposition of total change in net returns has shown that adoption
of modern technology accounted for 86 per cent of the incremental net income, in which the share of
varietal change was 58 per cent. This suggests that there is a considerable potential of raising farm
income through widespread dissemination of modern pearl millet technology in Rajasthan.
