Abstract
India became member of WTO in 1995 and has become an important player in
the process of globalization, there upon the agriculture sector has been drastically
affected. The production in agriculture sector has reached to 212 million tonnes per
annum, however, the international demand of agriculture commodities have not increased
to a desired level. The reason being the poor quality of the production in agriculture
sector. The other dimension related to agriculture sector is development of hi-tech
production practices for various crops. Keeping these factors in mind, the undersigned
has undertaken the present study “An Analytical study of training management in line
departments of Haryana” with the following objectives:
1. To assess the training needs of extension personnel of Line departments.
2. To study the course planning and preparation approach for conducting a training
programme.
3. To analyze the effectiveness of different training methods used by the trainers of
selected training institutions.
4. To find out the problems faced by trainers/training institutions and suggestions for
improvement.
The study has been conducted in the four selected districts of Haryana viz. Karnal,
Kurukshetra, Jind and Hisar alongwith four premier training institutions of line departments of
the state viz. EEI, Nilokheri, IATTE, Hisar, HTI, Karnal and HVTI Hisar. The data has been
collected from 80 respondents. The important findings of the study are summarized below:
The ADOs/AIs of Haryana have perceived low to medium training need in the area of
communication as well as socio-psychological/human relations. However, most of the
ADOs have perceived low training need in the area of subject matter i.e. Paddy and
wheat crops.
While studying the planning and preparation of training programme by the trainers of
selected training institutions of Haryana, it has been found that all the training
institutions except HVTI Hisar do ‘very good’ planning and preparation for organizing
their training programmes.
All the selected training institutions have ‘Quite adequate’ infrastructure for
conducting various training programmes.
All the training institutions except HVTI have quite adequate physical facilities. The
present investigation has revealed that the trainers usually use lecture, extension talk,
group discussion, skill teaching and institutional visits as training methods.
While studying the exposure of trainers to various training methods it has been found
that most of the trainers have been exposed ‘very much’ in lecture, extension talk,
group discussion and institutional visits.
Regarding the problems faced by the trainers/training institutions. The study brought to
surface across to observation that medium participation and poor motivation of trainees
are the major problems.
It is therefore, suggested that ADOs/AIs should be deputed on training to the
training institutions organizing training on the concerned areas for facilitating better
technology transfer to the farmers; the trainers of HVTI Hisar need improvement for
pre-course planning for their training programmes and should also improve their physical
facilities; the trainers of all selected institutions should also make use of the effective
training methods for improving the quality of training programmes and deputation of
trainers, for training to acquaint them with latest training methods and techniques for
making effective training programmes.
