Rural women spend much of their time in unpaid activities like working in family farm or receiving income in kind by working for others and in domastic work. Being illiterate and confined to fourwalls of the house, they have no or little knowledge about new technologies which can enhance their productivity and alleviate drudgry. Krishi Vigyan Kendra is an institution which imparts training to the rural women in these aspects. They impart skill training through work experience based on principle of learning by doing. Hence, an attempt was made for evaluation of impact of training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jodhpur on knowledge level of rural women by conducting this study.

Abstract


Rural women spend much of their time in unpaid activities like working in family farm or receiving income in kind by working for others and in domastic work. Being illiterate and confined to fourwalls of the house, they have no or little knowledge about new technologies which can enhance their productivity and alleviate drudgry. Krishi Vigyan Kendra is an institution which imparts training to the rural women in these aspects. They impart skill training through work experience based on principle of learning by doing. Hence, an attempt was made for evaluation of impact of training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jodhpur on knowledge level of rural women by conducting this study.
