dc.description.abstractPresent study was conducted in Hisar District of Haryana state, purposively. From Hisar district, two blocks Adampur and Hisar-I were selected randomly. From selected blocks two villages, namely, Siswal from Adampur and Dabra from Hisar-1 were selected by random technique. From each selected village, fifty women were selected randomly, thus making total sample of 100 women. From selected villages, 20 women who were interested for training on dairy farming were selected purposively. A set of 20 independent variables and three dependent variables were selected. Need assessment, impact of training and feasibility were selected as dependent variables. Need assessment was assessed in terms of frequency, importance, difficulty and knowledge. Impact of training was assessed in terms of dairy farm women i.e. gain in knowledge, change in attitude and symbolic adoption. The collected data was quantified and interpreted by using suitable statistical tools. Majority of the respondents belonged to young age group, illiterate and joint family of medium size. Majority of respondents were doing farming and annual income belonged to medium category (40,000-60,000) and had small herd size. Most of the respondents (25%) had medium land holding and lived in a pacca house, respondents had high level of change proneness and medium risk orientation. Majority of intra family and entrepreneurial decisions were by husbands. Most of the respondents had low mass media exposure and had medium level of information source utilization. Training was resulting in significant knowledge gain, favourable change in attitude and symbolic adoption of dairy farming was observed as medium to high in majority of respondents. Dependent variables milking and milk product preparation, deworming, care and management of calves, breeding, post parturition care, marketing and bedding was found significantly correlated with independent variables. All the selected independent variable were non significantly correlated with watering wallowing and bathing, housing management of cattle shed, animal health, milking and milk product preparation and farm management and accounting.
