A total of 120 growers were selected randomly for collecting the responses. The study revealed that considerable percentage (45.83%) of the respondents had high and 33.33% showed medium and 20.83% showed low training needs for the chickpea production technology. Needed areas of chickpea growers for training were: improved varieties for irrigated and un-irrigated area (45.33%), preparation and selection of land (35.33%), improved varieties based on size of seeds and name seed rate, storage, name and identification of weeds and requirement of irrigation at particular stages of crop, etc. Hence, extension workers from the line departments should take care of these aspects while planning for the training programme for the tribal chickpea growers.
