Majority of the tribal farmers were middle ayed, illiterate, small farmers, possessed average farm machinary, medium extension contact, medium exposure to mass-media, medium information seeking behaviour, low social participation, medium urban contact, medium scientific orientation and middle income group. Training needs in knowledge and skills of tribal farmers were also found. Respondents indicated the follo\tling- training needs in knowledge " \tleed control, seeds and sowing, land preparation, post harvest technology, fertilizer management, transplanting, disease control, nursary raising, Insect control and water management" \tlere the areas in their respective order in which the respondents needed training as per ranking. Regarding training needs in skills they indicated that "Land preparation, seeds and sowing, post harvest technology, weed control, nursery raising, water · management, fertilizer management, · insect control, disease control and transplanting" were the areas in their respective order in which respondents needed training as per ranking.
