This paper examines the impact of training, on the agricultural production, imparted to the Community Members of the Sarhad Rural Support Program (SRSP) working area in the four villages namely Batlang syeda, Lulo bandi, Singal kat and Parian of district Mansehra during 2000. A number of Community Organizations members had received training in agriculture, livestock and enterprise development. Due to these training the people have started farming on scientific lines. The results were based on the data collected from 50% (70 in number) of the training recipients of the sampled villages. The paper highlights the impact of training on cropping pattern, area and production of crops and income of the farmers. As a result of the training crop yield has increased, vegetables and fruits production has also shown an upward trend and diseases and mortality rate of the livestock has also been decreased. The study recommends extension of such programs to other backward regions of the province to increase the pace of development in those areas as well.
