Distance education is the process of educating large number of people, dispersed and distantly located, with face to face interaction between the teacher and the taught. It is characterized by no rigid entry qualifications, learning according to one's own pace and convenience, flexibility in choice of courses and use of modern and appropriate methods of education and communication. An experimental study was conducted to assess the knowledge of selected rural school dropout girls and women about food and nutrition at pre and post stage of distance education in selected villages of Dharwad district of Karnataka. After the education, results showed that about 97 per cent of the respondents gave correct answer about food groups followed by better cooking methods (81.67%), balanced diet (80.00%) and nutrition (61.66%). The knowledge of food showed cent per cent increase about cereals, pulses and essential food required for human growth. High majority of the respondents answered rightly about the fermented foods, methods of cooking and cutting of vegetables. More than 90 per cent of the respondents were able to answer about nutritious foods, grains required in daily diet, importance of balanced diet. This experimental study clearly shows that there was significant impact on gain in knowledge of rural school dropout girls and women about food and nutrition. The results of this study created scope of learning for the poor people living in remote rural areas, for the women whose life is still covered by the four walls of social systems and for those who cannot spare time for learning in lieu of their own earning schedule.Keywords

Distance education in India is making it easier to close the educational gap between rural and urban areas. By making educational opportunities easily available to everyone, distance education is opening up career options for the less privileged segments of Indian population. An experimental study was conducted to enhance the quality of health education through distance education with the objective to assess the knowledge of rural school dropout girls and women at pre and post stage of the distance education. The sample consisted 120 respondents who were selected from four villages namely Harobelawadi, Uppinbetageri, Mansur, Garag of Dharwad taluka. Village wise knowledge of respondents after the education revealed that majority (88%) of the respondents gave correct answer about family sanitation, followed by personal hygiene (85%), community sanitation (83.34%), environmental sanitation (82.50%) and additional useful information for rural sanitation (75%). The knowledge about family sanitation shows that high majority of the respondents answered rightly for importance of proper light and aeration at home, followed by place for washing of pesticide equipments and material used in the gobar gas plant. Cent per cent of the respondents gave correct answer for colostrum feeding and proper washing of hands after toilet. Majority of the respondents answered with respect to spraying of DDT powder to drainage and stagnant water to control mosquitoes, which are the causes of malaria. More than 80 per cent of the respondents were able to answer about methods to burry dead rats and pets, place to keep the milch animals in the house and source of solar cooker. Similarly, majority of the respondents answered rightly about astra chullaha/ or smokeless chullaha and department in-charge to distribute solar cooker.Keywords

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of KVK training programmes on knowledge and adoption of rural women about home science technologies. The present study was carried out with the sample size of 254 rural women. These rural women were categorized into two groups, i.e. trained and untrained having 127 women in each. The overall knowledge level of trained group was high in washing powder and phenyl making, maize products, mango products and bakery products. The respondents from untrained group possessed medium level of knowledge in maize products and low level in washing powder and phenyl making, mango products and bakery products. With respect to adoption, majority of trained women belonged to high level of adoption in washing powder and phenyl making, maize products, bakery products and medium level in mango products. Out of total variables cosmopoliteness in trained group exhibited significant but negative relationship with knowledge level and family income had shown positive and significant relationship with knowledge level as regard to home science technologies. Size of land holding exhibited significant but negative relationship with respect to adoption level of home science technologies. More than forty five per cent of rural women (47.24%) stated that lack of adequate time as their main constraint in adoption of home science technologies.Keywords
