Abstract

The study focused on assessing the cognitive effectiveness of entrepreneurial development training on goat rearing for landless and marginal farmers in Maharashtra’s Beed district carried out during 2020-21. A group of Twenty-five farmers were selected based on WhatsApp messages sent to registered KVK groups and a newspaper announcement. The training covered housing, disease management, improved goat breeding, feeding, feed preparation, and marketing intelligence. It was found that education level, socio-economic status, scientific interest, land ownership, social engagement, and marketing skills positively influenced knowledge acquisition. The trainee’s knowledge gained to the tune of 172 per cent more in seven days of training compared to the benchmark. Goat production and management including wildlife corridor preservation and promoting local vegetation through controlled grazing were key aspects. The study emphasized the importance of goat rearing training for farmers in the Beed district, showcasing substantial knowledge gains and identifying factors affecting participants’ learning outcomes.
通过羊业创业培训提高失地农民和边缘农民的知识
该研究的重点是评估2020- 2021年期间马哈拉施特拉邦Beed地区无地和边缘农民对山羊饲养的创业发展培训的认知效果。根据发送给注册KVK小组的WhatsApp消息和报纸公告,选出了25名农民。培训内容包括住房、疾病管理、改进山羊育种、饲养、饲料制备和营销情报。研究发现,受教育程度、社会经济地位、科学兴趣、土地拥有权、社会参与、行销技巧对知识取得有正向影响。与基准测试相比,在7天的培训中,受训人员的知识增长了172%。山羊生产和管理包括野生动物走廊保护和通过控制放牧促进当地植被是关键方面。该研究强调了对比德地区农民进行山羊饲养培训的重要性,展示了大量的知识收获,并确定了影响参与者学习成果的因素。
