abstract: The  major  technologies  in  rabi  sorghum  are  classified  as  1.  Crop  Improvement  2.  Crop 
Management  and  3.  Markets  and  prices.  The  choice  of  any  combination  depends  on  the 
resource  endowments  of  farmers,  access  and  availability  of  quality  inputs  at  the  right  time  and 
place  and  the  market  forces.  The  ex‐ante
 analysis  of  technologies  considering  different 
interventions,  likely  rate  of  adoption  and  costs  and  benefits  of  different  technologies  is  done.
