Abstract
"A study on impact of training on selected home-science
technologies was conducted in the year 1999-2000 in five villages of
Dharwad taluk with a sample of 125 rural women who had undergone
training on tailoring, agarbatti-making and candle making conducted by
the College of Rural Home-Science Dharwad, during 1998-99 were
personally interviewed and collected data on their knowledge level,
extent of adoption and constraints in adoption of these technologies by
using pre-tested schedule.
Results revealed that majority of the respondents of tailoring
(42.85%) belonged to high level knowledge category. They had
appropriate knowledge about drafting on wrong side (91.43%) and
washing the cotton fabrics before drafting (88.57%). In case of agarbattimaking
43.75 per cent of respondents belonged to high level knowledge
category and had appropriate knowledge about use of bamboo sticks
(89.58%) and drying of agarbatti in shade (87.80%). More than fifly per
cent of the respondents of candle making belonged to medium level of
knowledge category and they had appropriate knowledge about the use of
metal mould for candle making (97.62%) and smearing of the mould with
coconut and groundnut oil (88.10%).
A higher per cent of respondents of tailoring (42.82%) belonged to
high level of adoption category and adopted construction of cloth in warpwise
(71.43%). Majority of respondents (56.25%) of agarbatti-making
belonged to low level adoption category. In case of candle-making
adoption was nil.
Age, annual income and occupation of the respondents were
significantly associated with the knowledge of tailoring, whereas
extension contact was significantly associated with the knowledge of
candle making. None of the variables studied were associated with the
knowledge of agarbatti-making. Adoption of tailoring was significantly
associated with family income. Family type, occupation and extension
contact of the respondents exhibited significant association with adoption
of agarbatti-making.
Majority of rural women expressed lack of finsmcial assistance as
major constraint in adoption of tailoring. Non-availability of raw
materials, marketing facilities, financial assistance, lack of human
resource were the major constraints in adoption of agarbatti and candlemaking."
