Abstract

Training plays an important role in the advancement of human performance in a given situation. Training provides a systematic improvement of knowledge and skills which in turn helps the trainees to function effectively and efficiently in their given task on completion of the training. Lynton and Pareek (1990) stated that training consists largely of well organized opportunities for participants to acquire necessary understanding and skill. Farmer training is directed towards improving their job efficiency in farming. As systematic procedure for planning and
implementation of training programme, KVKs in general starts with identification of training needs of farmers/rural youth/extension personnel, and hence becomes the most important step in any training programme by KVKs.
