Out of which 156 trained extension functionaries have responded and data on the opinion of 63 superiors and 63 subordinates was collected and analyzed by using standard statistical tools.Majority of the respondents in all the states are in medium category of gain in knowledge followed by high and low categories, whereas in some states in certain training programmes medium category followed by low category of gain in knowledge was observed. There was marginal difference of gain in knowledge in different knowledge items of the same training programme. Among all the five training programmes, personality development was benefited to the maximum extent to the trainees by way of getting more knowledge (34.77) when compared to all the training programmes and it was due to the opportunity of using the concepts of personality development in many occasions of their work situation. Majority of the respondents had utilized the learned knowledge satisfactory at back home situation and they were categorized in to three categories i.e., low, medium and high groups. Majority of them are in medium category of knowledge utilization in almost all the training programmes followed by high and low categories. In some training programmes they were distributed equally in low and high categories after medium category. Training programme wise, as well as course content wise knowledge utilization was also assessed as in case of knowledge gain and found that based on the area of job and place of job, the respondents of all five states have utilized knowledge gained on some knowledge items and low utilization in certain areas. Knowledge gained on use of chalk board, flash cards, flannel board, charts, models and specimens was utilized to the maximum extent (4.25) by the respondents of Tamilnadu who have attended up gradation of communication skills training, whereas knowledge gained on lesson planning was not utilized properly (2.00) by the trainees of Karnataka state.

Even though there is little bit variation of application of skills at back home situation, almost all the state respondents have utilized the acquired skills to a greater extent and the gap in utilization between highest and lowest is only 13.00%. Knowledge gained and utilized was studied and observed that there was a gap of 5.71 per cent in case of up gradation of communication skills and a maximum gap of 15.12 per cent in case of personality development was noticed.

Among all the states, the attitude of trained extension functionaries towards EEI training programmes, they have moderately favourable attitude (67.95%) followed by high (16.67%) and low (15.38%). Same type of trend was noticed when the attitude was measured separately for different state respondents. Majority of the superiors were in moderate (improved to some extent) category (58.73%) followed by improved to greater extent category (31.74%) and not improved category (9.53%), whereas in case of subordinates improved to some extent was 57.14 per cent, improved to greater extent was 30.16 per cent and not improved was 12.70 per cent.
