Abstract

The present study was conducted to determine the impact of training programmes of KrishiVigyan Kendra’s (KVKs-Farm Science Centres) in terms of adoption of technologies as a result gender analysis. This study was undertaken with a view on 200 respondents selected by random sampling technique from four KVKs i.e. western (Bhiwani and Fatehabad) and eastern (Rohtak and Jhajjar) zones of Haryana in India. Out of total 29 areas in which both male and female respondents attended trainings, female participation was more in three areas of trainings i.e. value addition,  processing and cooking and cutting and tailoring whereas in rest all of the trainings male participation was more. In case of eastern zone KVKs, 35.0 and 23.0 per cent male and female respondents were partial followed by no adoption (12.0% male and 14.0% female) and full (12.0% and 4.0%) adoption of technologies. Pooled data revealed that 31.5 and 25.0 per cent male and female had partial followed by no (11.0% male and 13.5% female) and full adoption (15.5 % male and 3.5% female) of demonstrated technologies.
