Not AvailableTraining is an integral part of agricultural development process. The study was aimed to assess impact of sorghum training. Results revealed that the learning index of the trainees was significantly correlated with their age, job experience, and level of satisfaction about training materials and atmosphere. Before training, majority of them (60%) belong to medium knowledge level between 16 and 30 knowledge score who had more than double knowledge score (49-84) after the training. Knowledge gained was found to be highly significant at 0.001% level. The topics viz., improved package of practices for rainy (kharif) and post-rainy (rabi) sorghum cultivation followed by approaches for improved sorghum technology transfer, sweet sorghum, major weeds of sorghum and their management and value-addition to sorghum with reference to its industrial uses and entrepreneurship development were perceived as more useful. The overall impact on the trainees was found to be highly significant and encouraging.ICAR-IIMR, Hyderaba
