Economic impact assessment is a process of measuring development objectives such as increase in production, income and improvements in the sustainability of production systems. The new technology transferred to farmers’ field raised many interesting issues i.e. production growth, employment and income generation. The recent trends in India’s agricultural growth and development indicate a sharp deceleration in the agricultural sector despite an overall impressive growth of the economy is a major cause of concern today. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the impact of trends in new agricultural technology witnessed after the introduction of improved methods of cultivation, particularly in arid region of Rajasthan. This will help resolving the present crisis in order to develop agriculture into a vibrant sector contributing substantially to the growth and economy for its sustainable development. In this paper, an attempt has been made to document the impact of a medicinal and a staple cereal- pearl millet variety on income generation and to analyze the responsible factors. The cost of cultivation is higher in Sonamukhi followed by hybrid pearl millet (HHB-67) and local cultivar. The total return from the Sonamukhi is much higher than pearl millet crop. The prevailing broadcasting method in Sonamukhi cultivation facilitates natural growing of water melon and thumba (Citrullus colocynthes). Sonamukhi generated additional income of Rs. 4320.00. The labour requirement for the local cultivar of pearl millet and hybrid (HHB-67) and Sonamukhi was of tune to 24, 33 and 44 man days. The Sonamukhi also acted as micro-shelterbelt. The soil fertility of the field has also increased as per farmers’ perception. Some of the fanners used the crop residue as manure afier decomposition. The additional employment was generated by 35%, 28% and 44% by employing new technology consisting of pearl millet, cluster bean and mung bean crops over traditional cultivation of pearl millet, cluster bean and mung bean crops, respectively. The contribution of new technology was of the time 33%, 27% and 40% and the remaining contribution was due to increase in complementary inputs.

Soilless culture is defined as "any method where plants are grown without using soil as a rooting media and essential nutrients can be supplied through irrigation water. One of the soilless culture systems is hydroponics. By incorporating the fertilizers (which contain nutrients) in the irrigation water in the proper quantity, the fertilizers are supplied. It has been common practices for centuries to grow plants in various nutrient-rich water sources. Plants can be grown hydroponically using a variety of techniques, which can be divided into two categories: active and passive methods. The most widely used hydroponic mediums are perlite, honeycomb clay pebbles with ceramic shells, and Rockwool. In a hydroponic system, the nutrient solution provides all the necessary plant nutrients. Numerous plants, crops, or vegetables can be grown using hydroponics. In general, hydroponically grown produce has higher nutritional value, taste, and yield quality than naturally grown produce on the soil. This method of cultivation is economical, free of disease, environmentally friendly, and gaining popularity both in developed and developing nations worldwide. Along with advanced space research, it offers great potential in many nations to fill the gap left by a lack of suitable cultivable land. Therefore, hydroponics would be a better technique to produce various fruits, vegetables, and livestock feed as well as to meet the future demand for global nutrition. Hydroponics may become an emerging technique for feeding the world's population in the future. 

In rural areas of Barmer district of Rajasthan state most of the farmers rely on traditional health care to keep their animals healthy. Though, modern technologies in the field of animal husbandary have made immense progress but with time, it has not been transferred to the rural areas. This region is rich in various indigenous technologies which people use in their daily life. Hence there is a need to analyze these practices in the light of modern research with a positive approach and reality.
