Abstract:
A key component for the rapid transmission of technology to farmers is training, which is also a means of enhancing farmer’s socio-economic conditions and improving their agricultural output. TNSFAC Sponsored training programs are frequently conducted to farmer members to enhance their knowledge and skill towards agribusiness. The success of training programs depends upon the attitude of farmer members towards training. It was important for the training centres to know about the attitude of farmer members and the socio-economic variables which influence their attitude. In this study, 80 sample respondent farmers were selected from the districts of Coimbatore and Nilgiris. Percentage analysis was used to analyse the socio-economic variables of the respondent farmers. Mean Score analysis was used to measure the Attitude of farmer members of FPOs towards TNSFAC sponsored training program conducted at the Western zone of Tamil Nadu. Multiple linear regression was used to find the relationship of socio-economic profile with attitude of farmer members of FPO’s. From the result of Mean score analysis, it could be inferred that farmer respondents had highly favourable attitude towards the statement “Trainers were competent enough”. Multiple linear regression further inferred that the educational qualification of farmer members, Experience of farmer members in FPO’s and Awareness in social media were the vital socio-economic factors influencing the Attitude of farmer members for attending the training programs.
