Abstract
Skill development training aims to impart new knowledge and skill as well as build up favourable attitude among trainees.
Evaluating the farmers’ knowledge and attitude towards skill development trainings will help to assess effectiveness
of training as well as adoption probability of the acquired knowledge/skill. This research paper evaluated the impact
of skill development training on fish farmers’ knowledge and attitude, in different districts of Bihar. Primary data were
collected from randomly selected trainees (250 Nos.), using feedback proforma and mobile phonic survey methodology.
The first three levels of training evaluation model given by Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick were followed for measuring the
immediate impact of skill development training. Data were subjected to descriptive and Z-test statistics. The findings
revealed that skill development training had significant (p=0.000) positive impact on the knowledge level of trainees.
They exhibited favourable attitude towards skill development trainings and would be potential adopters of the acquired
knowledge and skills.
