Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Sriganganagar organise trainings to empower trainees in a more skilled and educated workforce. For this purpose KVK has to develop and adopt on-campus and off-campus training programmes. The training programmes are multipurpose to cover not only the varied needs of the rural women but also the entire needs of farming community. The term training refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills. A study was conducted to find out the impact of training programmes on knowledge and adoption of selected home science and agricultural technologies imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sriganganagar to rural women. Total 250 trained rural women were selected for the study. The data revealed that majority of trained women had high level of knowledge with respect t soap making, papad & vadi making, processing and value addition and medium level of knowledge about seed treatment, vermi composting and dairy management. With respect to adoption, majority of trained women belonged to high level of adoption in soap making and papad & vadi making and medium level in processing and value addition. Dairy management technology adopted by more number of trained rural women where as low adoption was found in seed treatment and vermi composting technology. Major constraints faced by trained women in adoption of the technologies were financial assistance, non availability of raw materials, market facility, non co-operation and lack of family encouragement.
