Background: In Maharashtra in 2013-14 area under Pigeonpea was 11.41 lakh hectares and productivity was 906 kg/ha. Majority of the farmers cultivated Pigeonpea as a cash crop, but it cannot see to all farmers due to dry land cultivation with using long duration and local varieties. In 2011-12 VNMKV Parbhani has developed BDN 711 new variety of Pigeonpea to overcome the production problems and increasing the productivity of Pigeonpea in Maharashtra. Methods: The present study was undertaken in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra state during the years 2021-22. Purposive on the basis of the maximum number of farmers cultivating red gram (BDN 711), were found in these two districts and four talukas sixteen villages were selected for conducting the study. So from each village, fifteen farmers were selected purposefully from that list and we considered them respondents, thus making a sample of 240 respondents. To study the impact, some respondents were analyse before and after cultivation of BDN 711, i.e., recall memories of farmers. An ex-post facto research design was adopted in this study. Result: The findings with regard to total social impact change percentage divided by the overall percentage of each component before and after cultivation of BDN 711 show that the farmers have established 14.44 % social impact.
