Abstract
This study was undertaken with a view to ascertain the attitude of the trainees towards training programmes conducted by Krishi Vigynan Kendra (KVK), Amritsar. The study was conducted on 300 respondents, selected by random sampling technique, from 10 villages covering 5 blocks of the district. The findings infer that the on-campus trainees have more favorable attitude than off-campus trainees. The data indicates that the exposure to KVK training programmes significantly changed the attitude of farmers in the desired direction. It is stated that policies and plans to improve the adoption of agricultural technologies in India should not overlook the importance of the need to change the incompatible outlook and views held by those farmers who are considered as traditional and conservative.References
