Abstract

The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Farm Science Centre), Nashik, Maharashtra organizes trainings  regarding Green House Cultivation Technology for aspiring entrepreneurs willing to venture into this  area. This study was undertaken to measure the impact of a training programme on knowledge of the  farmers. Findings concluded that most of the respondents had shifted from low knowledge level category  to middle and higher knowledge level categories after the training. There was not a single respondent in  high knowledge level category before the test. There was a highly significant and positive relationship of  knowledge gained by respondents with education, media exposure and risk orientation.
