Training Need Assesment of Members of Farmer Producer Organisation and Producer Companies in India with Reference to Pune District
The intervention and role of farmer producer organizations has been acknowledged as crucial for upliftment of agrarian community who are facing various challenges such as decreased land holdings, globalization, unpredictable weather conditions due to global warming, less value realization of agro produce to name a few. Inspite of the government vision for these producer companies are in many places observed to be struggling. The sustainability and business viability of these producer companies are in doubt and hence it is believed that training intervention shall help them to overcome these problems by offering certain training interventions. This study is an attempt to identify the training needs and gaps in the existing training modules. It is observed that though the respondents have expressed their satisfaction regarding training intervention in areas such as post harvest technology and market led extension but at the same time the respondent training needs for productivity enhancement, socio economic sustainability, linkages, compliances and monitoring cannot be ignored and needs to be addressed. Further as revealed by the study more than the demographic attributes prior training experiences exert an influence on the training assessment and hence need to be considered while designing the appropriate training moduls.
