indeed farmers. Transfer of technology can be explained as the movement of relevant technological information
from a research station through extension personnel to the clients/end users. ATIC facilitate the sale of seeds, plants, processed product, bio- fertilizers and also helps farmers in problems solving and decision making. The present study was undertaken to assess the awareness and satisfaction level of cotton growers' caller from Hisar and Sirsa district of Haryana about ATIC toll free number of CCS HAU Hisar.

A list of adolescents was prepared from rural and urban area i.e. 100 from rural area and 100 from urban area thus making a total sample of 200 adolescents. The sample represents equal number of boys and girls ranging in 16-18 years of age group. Academic resilience scale by Mallick and Kaur (2015) was used to assess academic resilience and mental health inventory by Jagdish and Shrivastva (1983) to assess mental health of respondents. The finding elucidates that irrespective of area of residence male respondents had higher academic resilience than their counterparts.

This paper examined the current status of general secondary school (GSS) science teachers' gender-responsive
pedagogy (GRP) practices. It also assessed the GRP practicing status of the teachers with the function of their sex and teaching experience. To realize this, a convergent parallel mixed-methods design (cross-sectional survey & case study) was employed. The required data were gathered from teachers, department heads, school principals, and students via questionnaire, interview, and focus group discussion (FGD). Data analysis techniques such as one sample and independent t-tests, and one way ANOVA were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative data also narrated thematically by taking into account the issues raised in the research questions. By so doing, the findings revealed that science teachers were competent in their classroom organization and interaction, and in tackling sexual harassment. On the contrary, they were ineffective to have gender-fair lesson plans, teaching materials, and they also were weak to treat sexual maturation. In another way, teachers' characteristics such as sex, and teaching experience did not affect their GRP practices.
