Abstract

The quality of agricultural and rural development training can be improved through proper training of trainers. However, the progress of extension trainer training in India has been slow and gradual. With the ever-changing technological environment, existing skills become obsolete and new skills are constantly needed. Effective training requires sensitivity beyond subject matter knowledge to effectively teach adult learners. Additionally, Indian agriculture has experienced a shift from production-oriented technology to market-oriented knowledge and technology due to globalization and the WTO regime. This highlights the need to strengthen efforts for training of trainers through a systematic approach. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of training programs conducted by the EEI by analysing the feedback and responses of trainers, taking into account their demographics.
