To meet the ever increasing foodgrain needs of the country, for feeding the rapidly growing population, Government of India recognised the need for preventing the huge storage losses apart from taking steps to produce more and more food grains. The Indian grain storage Institute and Farmers' Training Centre are involved in improving the efficiency of human inputs through new knowledge and improved skills related to scientific storage technology. The present study was under taken in order to assess the impact of the training programme conducted by Indian Grain Storage Institute, in terms of knowledge and the extent of adoption of improved storage practices by the trained farm women. The study was carried out in five villages of Guntur district covering a total sample of 200 trained farm women. A pre-tested interview schedule was used for the collection of data. The study revealed that majority of the trained farm women (54.S per cent), had fair level of knowledge on scientific storage of foodgrains. 20-40 per cent of the trained farm women have adopted most of the improved storage practices. The results of the study indicated that the training programme had a positive impact on the knowledge and adoption levels of trained farm women in scientific storage practices. |
