The Rajasthan Agricultural Competitiveness Project (RACP) was initiated by the Government of Rajasthan in April, 2013 in collaboration with the World Bank. The objective was enhancing water use efficiency and the efficient utilization of farm resources in agriculture by providing technical and financial support to the farming community. The attitude of farmers has a critical role in the implementation of any innovation or new technology. To measure the attitude of farmers towards the RACP, the need to use a scale was comprehended. Therefore, the Likert's method of Summated Rating Scale was constructed by using the methodology proposed by Likert (1932) and Edward (1957). The reliability of the scale was determined by the Split-half method and the validity of the scale was established through Content Validity. Finally, 22 statements were selected to measure the attitude of farmers towards the RACP. The developed attitude scale will have its relevance for farmers, administrators, extension personnel, technocrats and all others involved in policy making and implementation of projects related to irrigation management.
