Abstract
The present
study was carried out to assess the knowledge level of dairy
farmers in Nagpur district and to find the co-relation between
the socio-economic variables and the training needs. This study
was conducted in 15 villages from 3 talukas of Nagpur district
by personally interviewing 225 dairy farmers. Here, majority of
the respondents (55.11%) had medium level of knowledge followed
by the respondents with high level of knowledge (24.00%) while
some of the respondents (20.89%) had low level of knowledge. The
study of co-relation between socio-economic variables of the
respondents showed that variables like education (0.437), herd
size (0.486), annual income (0.445), daily milk production
(0.583), daily milk sale (0.486), social participation (0.500)
and the knowledge (0.634) were significantly and positively
co-related with the training needs. Whereas, variables like age
(0.043), family size (0.103) and land holding (0.084) were found
to be positively but non-significantly co-related with the
training needs while, the caste (-0.093) was found to be
negatively and non-significantly co-related with the training
needs at 0.05% level of probability.
