The present investigation was carried out in Odisha state to find out the impact of training on rice cultivation by government agencies on farm women and the problems perceived by them. Training, being an important input for knowledge and skill development, is a part and parcel of all the programmes launched for enriching the existing knowledge. This study revealed that chemical pesticide application (98%), variety selection (88%), fertiliser application (87%) was the areas where most of the trained farm women had availed training. In harvesting of rice, both the trainees and non-trainees were found having maximum knowledge. The knowledge of farm women on weedicide application was very poor (3.75%). The maximum knowledge gap between trainees and non-trainees was found in safe storage method. Farm women perceived selection of time of training and much theory in training were the major hindrance in achieving the objectives of training.
