 ABSTRACT

Study was conducted to find out the constraints faced by the women trainees of Krishi Vigyan Kendras in Punjab. Thirty long duration vocational training courses conducted by the selected Krishi Vigyan Kendras namely Bathinda, Ferozpur, Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur and SBS Nagar from 2009-2013 were taken up for the study. A sample of 140 trainees was drawn by applying probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method and data were collected personally from the selected trainees by using an interview schedule. The findings of the study revealed that there was no boarding and transport facilities for the women trainees, during on campus training. So, it is suggested that travelling allowances or transport facility to reach the KVK should be provided to the trainees. Majority of the trainees also revealed that there was a weak linkage between the trainees and Krishi Vigyan Kendras after completion of training. Therefore, trainees and government agencies should be linked up and KVKs should provide financial assistance to their trainees so that women trainees can generate income by starting any productive work at home only.

Key words: Vocational Training, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Constraints and Suggestions
