training curriculum in for dryland region, deals with various efficient tools, techniques and methods of soil
and water conservation with major emphasis on rain water management techniques such as in-situ conservation
practices, micro irrigation systems and efficient Integrated farming systems for livelihood development. A
Study conducted to assess the effectiveness and impact of training on the tribal farmers on knowledge gain
based on pre and post evaluation scores and factors contributing to knowledge gain using factor analysis. It
was found that many subject areas such as NRM management, soil health management practices, agro techniques,
pests and diseases management, dryland horticulture have enhanced knowledge. Factors affecting knowledge
gain were also determined using factor analysis and found that only practices related to soil and water
conservation, animal health and livelihood have contributed to the major change in knowledge. It is clear
from above study that training of tribal farmers, owning land and cattle, the uptake of knowledge remain
higher with integration of both crop and animal technologies in the training curriculum and increasing economy
