    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-03) Malik, Satyakaam; Dhingra, Atul
    The investigation entitled “Need and Impact Analysis of HR Trainings for Agricultural Extension- A Critical Assessment by Trainees and Trainers” was carried out. The study analysed the responses of 300 trainees in agricultural extension to evaluate the effectiveness of HR training programs. The majority of trainees had graduate-level education, were in the age range of 25-40, married, and from diverse residential locations. The participants rated lectures and games as the most effective training methods and on-campus training as the most effective mode. The ideal duration of training was 5 days with 15-30 participants. Trainees rated the importance of HR training programs, with 89.67% of trainees strongly agreeing that training is required for performance improvement. The results showed that the participants placed a high value on the development and implementation of appropriate training methods and the acquisition and management of resources for training programs. Education level and working experience had the strongest correlations with the impact of the training. The study also aimed to investigate the distribution of roles and responsibilities among trainers, the level of experience and involvement of trainers in conducting HR training programs, and the beliefs of trainers about the purpose of HR training. The study found that the majority of trainers were male and highly educated. The majority of trainers served as resource persons, and the majority of participants in training programs came from state agricultural universities or agriculture departments. The study highlighted the varying beliefs of trainers about the purpose of HR training. The study found that HR training can have an impact on trainers. The study also investigated the impact of HR training on the efficiency and performance of agriculture officers. The results indicated that HR training is very helpful in improving the efficiency of officers. The study found that the HR trainings have been effective in enhancing the skill level of the trainees, and the lecture method and group discussion were widely used. The study also revealed that the education level and working experience of the trainers had a moderate positive impact on the improvement of the skills of the trainees. The study highlighted the important factors that influence the extension methods used and the type of teaching aids used by agricultural extension officers. Finally, the study found that the background of the participants, the number of training programs related to agricultural extension services, and the behaviour of the trainer had positive correlations with the trainees' willingness to attend another training program.
