Assessment of trainee feedback and its influence on training effectiveness

Abstract

The study assess farmers feedback and evaluate the effectiveness of the training program towards agricultural extension training programmes. A total of 131 farmers who attended training at the Directorate of Extension Education, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Findings revealed that training sessions often involved too lengthy and lacked proper planning. Participants also noted that there is lack of adequate motivation and encouragement during sessions. Farmers reported improved performance and expressed enjoyment after attending the training programme. The programmes were credited with enhancing both the productivity and quality of farm outputs. The overall finding suggests that the most of farmers believe that the extension training help to increase productivity and quality of farm quantity.
