The districts, talukas, villages, and farmers were chosen using a multiple random sampling techniques. Three districts in North Gujarat were chosen at random. Two talukas were chosen at random from each district. Four villages were chosen at random from each taluka. Ten farmers were chosen at random from each village. As a result, 240 farmers were chosen as the sample size. The data was gathered through personal interviews and then compiled, tabulated, and analyzed to obtain the correct response using various appropriate methods of statistics.
