KVKs are engaged in conducting need based training programmes for all stakeholders in the field of agriculture on regular basis. KVK Gwalior has been working for the welfare of farming community in the district since last two decades through its intensive programmes. The present study was conducted on 209 ex-trainees of KVK Gwalior to assess the status of training programmes conducted by the scientists during last three years in terms of type of training programmes, coverage of thematic areas and perception of trainees on application of training methodologies. The data were collected from KVK records and through a pre-tested structured interview schedule by personal interviews. The results of the study reveal that maximum trainings were conducted under various themes of crop sciences followed by soil science and home science. The KVK has conducted maximum training for the farmers and farm women at their village settings in off campus mode by following lecture and demonstration methods.
