products (40.00%) and bakery products (53.13 %) while, untrained women showed
medium level of knowledge about maize products (57.14%) and low level in washing
powder and phenyl making (43.33%), mango products (36.67 %) and bakery
products (46.88%).
In case of agricultural technologies more number of trained women had high
level of knowledge in dairy management (63.33%) and medium level in seed

With respect to adoption of home science technologies, a higher per cent of
women of washing powder and phenyl making (50.00%), maize products (51.43%)
and bakery products (50.00%) belonged to high level of adoption category while,
majority of women (80.00%) of mango products belonged to medium level of
