 ABSTRACT

The current investigation implicates the trainings conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Madurai district and the participation of farmers in the training programmes. From the training register, list of past 6 years trainings (2013-2018) was taken for the study to assess the participation of farmers in the KVK training programmes. Training participation was measured by percentage analysis. The results revealed that in major crop-oriented trainings, the cereals ranked first (17.24%) followed by Vegetable crops (14.94%), Horticultural crops (14.37%), pulses (13.22%) and entrepreneurship training (9.19%) respectively. Subject based trainings constituted 21.83 percentage. This outcome illustrates that trainings given on cereals were comparatively higher than other trainings. Cereals crops are predominantly practiced in Madurai district and vegetable crops comes next to it. More number of trainings should be conducted on pulses followed by millets for enhancing the area under millets cultivation and value addition. Importance should be given to conduct a greater number of entrepreneurship-oriented trainings and trainings on farm mechanization.
