Cattle rearing is an important occupation of the rural poor across Southern states of
India. It is apparent that livestock particularly cattle have a strong role in poverty
alleviation among the landless women, although the degree and nature of their
contribution varies. Setting up a livestock enterprises, more specific cattle rearing
is preferred by the women Self Help Groups (SHG) since the asset is in a readily
available form from the start of the activity through which its varied roles are felt
in their livelihood. Five days training programme on “Scientific Rearing of Dairy
Cattle” was conducted at Veterinary University Training and Research Centre,
Karur of Tamilnadu for 368 self help group women of SGSY beneficiaries of DRDA.
Their knowledge level in the subject was assessed before and after the training
through knowledge test. Item wise and domain wise knowledge gain on different
items was calculated; The highest knowledge gain was noticed in the health care
domain. More than fifty per cent knowledge gain was observed in almost all the
items of the dairy farming practices.
