    EFFECTIVENESS OF AUDIO-VISUAL TOOLS IN TRANSFERRING DAIRY CATTLE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES AMONG WOMEN SELF HELP GROUP MEMBERS
    (COLLEGE OF VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCES-MANNUTHY,THRISSUR, 2011) HARI. R.; T.S.Rajeev
    The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of different audio visual aids combinations among the WSHG members involved in dairy cattle rearing, along with analysing their socio economic status. The tools used in the study were designed as the part of the DelpHe project and were developed specifically to cater to the needs of WSHG members, especially master trainers among them. 150 volunteers from 5 Blocks of Thrissur were selected for the study. They were divided into 5 groups each having 30 members at random without replacement. Out of these five groups, four groups were used for evaluating the efficiency of the teaching aids and one group was used for need analysis. Knowledge, skills, attitudes and adoption were the variables used to assess the efficiency of these audio visual aids. Pre training –post training measurement was conducted for evaluation of variables. Post training measurement includes measurement of the variables immediately after training and 15 days after training. Four groups selected for evaluation of aids were named as control group in which lecture method alone was used, Experimental group 1 in which along with lecture teaching aids VAKTHRAM and SARANA were used, Experimental Group 2 in which along with lecture method teaching aids ROVAKTHRA and ASLICS were used and Experimental group 3 in which along with lecture flipbook and hand book were used. In all groups training session was conducted for one hour duration. Sessions were conducted using scientifically formulated lesson plan, prepared on the basis of need analysis conducted in one of the five groups. Results indicated that experimental group one had the maximum gain in knowledge and skills, followed by experimental group 2 and experimental group 3. Control group had the least gain in knowledge and skills. No significant change was observed between four groups in their attitudes, both immediately after and 15 day after training. There was a significant increase in adoption of scientific dairy cattle management practices in all four groups with Experimental group 1 having maximum scores and control group having the minimum scores. Socio economic analysis of the respondents revealed that most of the respondents were middle aged, with education up to matriculation level. Most of them had more than 2.5 years experience in WSHG and have a monthly income of less than 2457 rupees. Cent percent of respondents own cattle and about two third of them had previously attended training sessions on cattle rearing.

    (COLLEGE OF VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCES-MANNUTHY,THRISSUR, 2003) N. VIMAL RAJ KUMAR; R.S, Jiji
    The objectives of the study were to identify the training needs of the Dairy Farm Instructors (DFIs) of Dairy Development Department of Kerala and find out the determinants of their training needs. The data were collected through questionnaires to which 75 DFIs responded. Information technology was the most preferred major subject matter domain for training followed by milk and milk products, dairy cattle production and management, dairy extension, professional management and fodder production and management. Among the socio-personal characteristics, the training exposure and role perception of the respondents had significant relationship with the training need. Both the role perception and training need of most of the respondents were medium only. For all the domains, institutional type of training as well as trainers from outside the parent organization but within the state were preferred the most. Demonstration was the most preferred method of training for most of the domains. The most preferred periodicity for the trainings of one to seven days duration was six months, those of eight to fourteen days was one year and those of fifteen to thirty days and more than a month was more than a

    AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION OF LIVESTOCK OWNERS OF THRISSUR DISTRICT IN PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS
    (College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy., 2005) ANU GEORGE; Dr. P.J. Rajkamal
    ABSTRACT Awareness, attitude and participation of livestock owners regarding Panchayati Raj were studied. The background characteristics such as socio economic and socio-psychological were almost uniform, and reflected the general picture of livestock farmers of the state. Generally, the awareness of Panchayati Raj, attitude towards Panchayati Raj and level of participation in PRIs were all less than satisfactory. Even so, SHG- members and non-members differed significantly on all account. For instance, SHG-members had significantly higher levels of awareness, a more favourable attitude and better levels of participation. As in any system, certain crucial constraints to participation upon which there was consensus among the livestock owners studied, are also reported. In the interest of a sound and firm Panchayati Raj system, which is the hope of many poor people, especially the livestock owners, the situation must improve for the better.
