Abstract
The present study undertaken in Chhattisgarh state, has estimated the resource use efficiency in vermicompost production under Gothan and Godhan Nyay Scheme. Samples of 12 vermicompost units were selected from the state. Efficiency in any system is an expression of obtainable output with the addition of unit amount of input. The result of the study define that variables cow dung and Vermi culture, cow dung was found positive but non-significant which indicates that quantity of cow dung have positive impact on output. Regression coefficient of Vermi culture was found positive and significant at 1 percent which indicated that 1 percent increase in the quantity of vermi culture would increase yield. The resource use efficiency for cow dung and vermi-culture were negative, non-significant and less than unity indicates efficiently utilized of both inputs.
