Abstract: The study was conducted in Jagatsinghpur District of Odisha to find out the impact of training provided by KVK on the farmers of the District. This study accesses the technological development (2.61), economic development (2.46), social development (2.45), farm activity development (2.35) and infrastructure development (1.44). Gap analysis was maximum in infrastructure development (52%) and minimum in technological development (12.86%). Hence it was concluded that more emphasis need to be given to the future training programme to the KVK. The characteristics of the participants’ viz. educational level, farming experience, extension need a constant positive influence on the knowledge level of the participant.
