dc.description.abstractIn Theni District, most of the works related to dairy animal management are looked after by rural women but their knowledge in dairy animal management is very poor. The main objective of this training programme was to motivate rural women to learn about knowledge of dairy farming so as to engage themselves in their free time to earn certain amount of income for their family. In the present study three days training programme were conducted for rural SHG Women on dairy farming and value added milk products at Farmers Training Center Theni, sponsored by NABARD, Chennai. Accordingly the transfer of technology work was carried out for 8 batches and total 495 participants were selected. On completion of the training programme feedback analysis was obtained from each batch and data was tabulated and interpreted. Among 495 trainees 156 trainees (31.51%) were 20-30 years of age, 169 trainees (34.14%) of 30-40 years of age, 134 trainees (27.07%) of 40-50 years of age and 36 trainees (7.27%) of above 50 years of age groups respectively. In these rural women trainees 246 trainees (49.70%) had up to primary school level education and 168 trainees (33.94%), 43 trainees (08.69%) , 30 trainees (6.06%) and 8 trainees (1.62%) were belonged to middle school, SSLC, HSC and degree levels of education. Out of the 495 trainees in 8 batches 446 trainees (90.10%) were married and 32 unmarried women (6.46%) and 17 were widows (3.43%). Out of 495 trainees, 422 (82.25%) trainees reared (or) owned dairy animals and 73 trainees (14.75%) had no dairy animals in their houses. Among 495 trainees 398 trainees (80.40%) had agriculture and other allied activities as their main occupation with dairy animals as their subsidiary occupation whereas 97 trainees (19.60%) had non agricultural occupation. Majority of the trainees i.e. 351 women were (71%) interested to start 1-3 dairy animal unit, 134 (27%) gave preference to heifer unit and 10 (2%) gave preference to mini dairy unit (maximum 10 dairy animals unit). Trainings conducted frequently should increase the level of knowledge, which reflects in to better dairy animal management and ultimately increases the dairy animal population and milk production in Theni district.en_US
