Along with the changing situation, the people also need to acquire new knowledge, skills and attitude to keep up with the changing environment. Therefore training has continued to be considered as the most important device for developing an individual and improving his/her work eficiency (Malabasari and Hiremath, 2016).The progresses in any ield depend to a large extent on quick and effective dissemination of new practices or technologies among the beneiciaries and bring back of their problems to the research labs for their solution (Gupta and Verma, 2013). In Uttarakhand, women play a crucial role in all farm-related activities from land preparation to marketing. They contribute a higher proportion of labour in agricultural sector as compared to men, but globally her hard work has mostly been unpaid. She does the most tedious and back-breaking tasks in agriculture, animal husbandry, horticultural crops, caring and raring of children, and other domestic activities (Sharma et al, 2013). Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Uttarkashi organised many training programmes exclusively for farm women with the aim to make them competent in performing various activities related to home Science and agricultural sciences. Training of ive batches of 20 farm women (different villages of Uttarkashi block) were conducted at KVK during 2013-15. Pre and post evaluation of the trainees was done to ind out the level of change in their knowledge and skill after undergoing training on technologies regarding processing of Soybean. Hence, this study was conducted with the speciic objectives to study the socio personal proile, knowledge level of respondents and relationship between the dependent and independent variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was undertaken in two blocks of the Uttarkashi district. The gain in knowledge was estimated as difference between the knowledge before and after the exposure of trainings. The knowledge level of respondents in the present study was measured with the help of a knowledge test constructed and standardized by Borua and Brahma Study on the Socioeconomic Proile and Knowledge Level of Farm Women about Soybean Processing Techniques Manisha Arya, V K Sachan, Pankaj Nautiyal and Gaurav Papnai Krishi Vigyan Kendra (ICAR-VPKAS), Chinyalisaur- 249 196 (Uttarkashi) Uttarakhand ABSTRACT The present study was conducted on 100 farm women to examine the impact of training programme on knowledge level of farm women about soybean processing technologies. The respondents were trained at KVK Uttarkashi in different aspect of home Science technologies. Pre and post training knowledge score were calculated and analysed the data with the help of paired’t’ test and correlation studies. Signiicant differences were found among pre and post training mean score of all the aspect of the training. The study revealed that majority of respondents (72 %) had medium level of knowledge while 20 per cent of the respondents obtained higher level of knowledge and 8 per cent had low level of knowledge score related to different aspects of precision farming technologies. The attributes viz. education (r=0.2307), annual income (r=0.1807) and social participation (r= 0.1968) had positive and highly signiicant correlation with knowledge of respondents, however, age and marital status were found negatively correlated with the knowledge of respondents.
