ABSTRACT The researcher conducted the research study as in the state of Assam. Two agro- climatic zones of a country, such as the Upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone and the Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone, were selected for study in the six agro-climatic zones of Assam. Selected One district of the each selected agro-climatic region, namely the community of Sivasagar and chose the section of Kamrup (Rural) at random. Two sub- divisions were chosen for each district, one block for each selected sub-division, and three villages for each selected block were chosen randomly. Twenty-five (25) rural women, most of whom were involved in fruit and vegetable harvesting, were chosen as respondents by random sampling technique. As a result, I choose a total of 300 rural women as respondents for the study, and the collection of data was carried out using a standardized interview schedule. The study found that the majority of rural women have lower levels of knowledge in aspects such as nursery breeding, land planning, processing practices and fertilizer application. Five intervention programmers were organized for rural women on various aspects of horticultural crop production technologies, which were observed through input from post-intervention research using interview schedules conducted just after completion of the intervention programmer and
