Abstract
A study was conducted to assess the barriers perceived by the learners in distance mode
and to suggest the strategies for etfective delivery of knowledge and skills to the learners,
based on the data collected from 100 respondents randomly selected from each of 221 and
135 learners of dairy and goat farming courses of Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal
Sciences University. The constraints perceived by the respondents of dairy and goat
farming distance courses exhibited an overall mean score of 1.5 and 1.6 respectively, both
ranging from ‘least constraint’ to ‘no constraint’. Lack of guidance fi'om the local co-
ordinators and lack of collaborations / co-operations with learning centres was perceived as
constraint to more severe constraint. The factor - improper tracking of learners
achievements ~ was given the score of 3.9 (by dairy course learners) and 4.0 (by goat
course learners), implying it to be a severe constraint The overall and individual
constraints‘ scores in social and economic barriers ranged between l and 2, as they were
perceived not to be the constraints by the learners in both course categories.
