The action research study on non-formal trainings to needy farmers was carried
out during 2003 to 2006 in villages of Mahi ravine area under Anand and Baroda
districts of Gujarat state with the objective to increase the knowledge and adoption
behaviour towards Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) technologies for ravine
reclamation. The pre-training status of farmers regarding knowledge, symbolic
adoption and adoption was moderate, low and very low level, respectively. Under
the study, Target Groups (TGs) of farmers were imparted non-formal trainings on
ravine reclamation during 2003-2006 through the selected individual, group and
mass contact extension training methods to impart knowledge, skills and motivate
farmers about different ravine reclamation SWC technologies for promoting
adoption. Consequently, farmers of Mahi ravine area initiated different soil and
water conservation practices by their own efforts on their farms. The post-training
status of farmers was also evaluated and it was found that the knowledge level of
farmers regarding SWC technologies improved from moderate to high level;
symbolic adoption increased from low to moderate level; and the actual adoption
of soil and water conservation technologies also improved from very low to
moderate level. The overall impact of the non-formal trainings on targeted farmers
was measured quantitatively with the help of the Training Index (TI) and 30.1%
improvement was observed.
