The present study was carried out in four different villages under Longleng district of Nagaland, India. KVK, Longleng conducted a frontline demonstration of HYV of toria (TS 36). A total of 32 nos. of FLDs were evaluated to find out the yield gaps between HYV Toria variety TS 36 and variety grown by farmers. Yield data of both demonstration and farmers practice were recorded and their yield gap, technology gap, extension gap and technology index were analyzed. Results revealed that the Toria yield (Cv. TS 36) was recorded 40.6 to 40.7 per cent higher over farmer’s variety. On an average, technology gap was recorded 4.10 q/ha, while the average extension gap was recorded 2.40 q/ha. Average technology index was recorded 34.10 percent. Average net return was found Rs.15375.50/ha and Rs.8637.50/ha with demonstration and farmers practice respectively. Higher benefit-cost ratio, production efficiency and economic efficiency were recorded in the demonstration plot than the farmer's practice
