Ahmednagar district is specialized in cultivation of chrysanthemums and is the major Chrysanthemum growing district in Maharashtra.

The required number of cultivator's form each village was selected randomly. In all 150 chrysanthemum growers spread over ten villages from the total sample of the study.
