ABSTRACT
Sugarcane is the most important cash crop. India rank first both in respect of area and total production among the sugarcane growing countries of the world. Even if, there is tremendous opportunity of making further progress in relation to increase the sugarcane production by way of adoption of modern technology in sugarcane cultivation.
The adoption of improved technology of sugarcane by the farmers is not uniform due to several reasons. Hence, this study is being undertaken to identify the various factors in relation to adoption of improved agriculture technology for sugarcane cultivation.
Training and education are lifelong requirement to improve the living standard of large number of people in the villages. The significance of training for development and mobilization of human resources energies has been recognized long back, but finding out ways for improving effectiveness of training received attention only recently. Keeping this views, Krishi Vigyan Kendra’s are the grass-root level training institutions, designed for bridging the gap between the available technologies at the one end and their application for increased production at the other. Information regarding agricultural inputs, like improved seeds, suitable manures and fertilizers, plant protection manures and credit requirement etc, need urgent attention for fulfilling these tasks. Training is an important component of human resources development.
In recent years, cultivation of sugarcane is very popular due to non-availability of sugar & high price of sugar. The various extension agencies are continuously making efforts to create awareness among the farmers about cultivation of sugarcane. Govt. Institute, Non Govt. Organization, Private agencies and Krishi Vigyan Kendras are playing major role for promoting the cultivation of sugarcane and conducting Training programme, Exhibition, Kisan Mela, Sangosthi and other programme for dissemination of information about cultivation of sugarcane with low cost and environmentally safe condition. The success of any training programme depends greatly on the perception of the trainees towards it. Hence it is worthwhile to assess the impact of cultivation of cane training programmes in term of trainees’ perception so that the farmers may adopt these technologies and enhance their production with low cost and environmentally safe condition. The success of any training programme depends greatly on the perception of the trainees towards it. Hence it is worthwhile to assess impact of training on production level of sugarcane crop in terms of trainee’s perception.
Key words: Sugarcane, Fertilizers, Exhibition, Krishi Vigyan Kendras.
