| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: An ex post facto research design was followed to study the soc~o psychological profile and training needs in A.H knowledge. skills and attitude of Paraveterinarians. A total sample of 105 respondents comprising of 75 Paraveterinarians and 30 VASs were selected based on proportionate random sampling method from four divisions of Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh. The data was collected by pre structured interview schedule and questionnaire by personal interview method and analyzed by using appropriate statistical techniques. Categorization of Paraveterinarians by their dependant variables indicated that majority belonged to medium category with respect to training needs in Animal Husbandry knowledge (50.67%), skill (49.33%) and attitude (48.00%) towards training. Majority of the respondents were in the medium categories of age. education, experience, training received, guidance and supervision, mass media exposure, innovativeness. risk preference, rational decision making ability. achievement motivation, job satisfaction and scientific orientation. Out of 12 independent variables age and experience were negatively and significantly related with the knowledge training needs of Paraveterinarians where as innovativeness, risk preference. rational decision making ability. achievement motivation and scientific orientation showed a positive and significant relationship and the rest of the variables were found to be non significant with the knowledge training needs of Paraveterinarians. It was found that the variables age, experience and training received were negatively and significantly related with the skill training needs of Paraveterinarians where as innovativeness, risk preference, rational decision making ability, achievement motivation and scientific orientation showed a positive and significant relationship and the rest of the variables were found to be non significant with the skill training needs of Paraveterinarians. The variables age and experience were negatively and significantly related with the attitude of Paraveterinarians towards training where as innovativeness, risk preference, rational decision malung ability and achievement motivation showed a positive and significant relationship with the attitude and the rest of the variables were found to be non significant with the attitude of Paraveterinarians towards training. The immediate five training needs of Paraveterinarians in A.H knowledge were in the rank order of knowledge on new or emerging livestock diseases and their preventive measures, latest trends in therapeutic use of drugs in veterinary practice, latest trends in animal breeding/feeding/reproductive managelnent, knowledge on the new technologies in A.H evolved by research stations and diagnosis of different disease of animals. The training needs in A.H skills wcre in the rank order of skill in diagnosis of different disease of animals, skill on the new technologies in A.H evolve by research institutions, skill in A.I. skill in pregnancy diagnosis and skill in identification and treatment of reproductive problems. Chi square test revealed that there is a significant association between the rankings of training needs of Paraveterinarians in A.H knowledge and A.H skills ' given by the two categories of respondents i.e Paraveterinarians and their superior officers. A large number of Paraveterinarians suggested that training should be given on new or emerging livestock diseases and their preventive measures followed by latest trends in therapeutic use of drugs. advance intimation of training programmes and sufficient accommodation at training centers. Majority of the superior officers suggested that special training should be imparted to Paraveterinarians in new or emerging livestock diseases followed by exposure visits to research stations, organisatio~a of special trainers training programmes. Another valid suggestion made by the superior officers that special and suff~cient budget must be provided for TA and DA to the participants. Based on the identified needs and suggestions, a strategy was framed which highlights that training programmes should be based on expressed needs and immediate requirements of Paraveterinarians. Course content and curriculum of training should be developed with more emphasis on latest trends in animal breeding, feeding, reproductive management and technique of artificial insemination. Paraveterinarians should be taken on study tours to various livestock research stations and other institutes engaged in Veterinary and Animal Husbandry research. Such tours should be conducted for 3-5 days in a calendar year. One day skill training programmes should be organised on preparation of ointments, lotions and stock solutions required for the institution by concerned Veterinary Assistant Surgeons to cover entire Paraveterinarians of the state. Special training should be given on collection and preservation procedures of samples and specimens, first aid procedures at divisional level with periodical intervals and special programmes should be organised on maintenance of technical and non technical registers, census work, house hold survey procedures at divisional level to cover all the Paraveterinarians of the state with in a specific period. Training should be imparted at district level to cater to the needs of the Paraveterinarians of the district and another at divisional level based on the local needs of the trainees. A state level training policy should be formulated so that each Paraveterinarian gets an opportunity to undergo need based training at regular intervals. Physical facilities at training institutes can be strengthened and sufticient budget provision can be made for TA/DA of the trainees well in advance. Pru and post evaluation of training programme can be obtained from all thc trainees so as to plan the future programmes more effectively | en_US |
