Abstract

The present study was undertaken in two zones of Kerala, India. A sample of 90 AgriculturalOfficers (AOs) was randomly selected and information was gathered and analyzed. A well structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Attitude of the AOs towards training was measured and Garret score ranking method was used to rank the constraints faced by the AOs. The results revealed that majority of the Agricultural Officers had neutral attitude towards training and major constraints faced by AOs were lack of time for extension activities, lack of transport facilities and lack of incentives reward system for better performance.
