dc.description.abstractThe present study has been conducted at Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar university of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan to investigate the challenges faced by extension functionaries in motivating farmers to adopt new agricultural practices. A semi- structured questionnaire was prepared to collect primary data from 48 extension functionaries. The Kirpatrick model was used to evaluate the attitude of extension functionaries towards the training, assessing its impact on four key levels: reaction, learning, behaviour and results. Responses were collected using a 5-point Likert scale and subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings reveled that more than half of the extension agents hold a Ph.D. in agricultural sciences and possess a 10-15 years of experience. It was found that most extension agents had a positive responses to the training conducted for them. Therefore, the agents reported significant challenges including heavy workload, time constraint and delayed communication from higher officials. They also faced difficulties such as the limited number of extension agents, lack of ICT tools during training sessions and traditional mindset among farmers. The study recommended regular training on the latest technologies, improved ICT support and the stronger connection between extension agents and researcher to keep up with agricultural developments and address farmer’s needs more effectively.
