<div style="text-align:justify">Background: Lack of correct and inadequate knowledge leads to under or over adoption of innovation which proves fatal to the farming business. Therefore, Krishi Vigyan Kendra imparted training and demonstration programmes at Tribal area of Amravati district under TSP. Hence a study was conducted to ascertain the level of knowledge and adoption of farmers with respect to Bengal gram production technologies due to training imparted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghatkhed, Amravati. 
Methods: The study was carried out in three villages in tribal area of Dharni block of Amravati district, where most of the farmers were growing Bengal gram crop. To measure the impact of the training programme, the farmers were grouped as &lsquo;trainees&rsquo; and &lsquo;non-trainees&rsquo; and a random sample of 25 farmers from each group were drawn from KVK adopted villages of tribal area for testing their level of knowledge and extent of adoption by means of a well structured schedule. 
Result: The trainees farmers had high level of knowledge and adoption than the non-trainees farmers. It was also found that calculated value of &lsquo;t&rsquo; was significant at 1 per cent level of significance. It means that there is significant difference between trainees and non-trainees regarding the extent of adoption of package of practices of Bengal gram crop.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Background: Mushroom production can play a vital role to alleviate poverty by generating employment prospects for jobless educated youth along with additional income in rural and semi-urban areas. The present study was conducted to find out the growers&rsquo; response to vocational trainings on mushroom production at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Moga. 
Methods: The respondents consisted of 212 trainees who had undergone vocational training on mushroom production techniques from KVK, Moga between the years 2015-16 to 2019-20. 
Result: It was observed that pre-training knowledge score was not much satisfactory for all the aspects of training programme. However, the knowledge score gained by respondents after training was more satisfactory in all the aspects. The study revealed that exposure to training had increased the knowledge of participants regarding techniques of mushroom production by 80.75 per cent. The reason behind the satisfactory change in perception level might be due to well educational background, keen interest of participants and methods followed for technology transfer to the trainees. Some trainees even adopted mushroom cultivation as self-employment and set up their own units. The study revealed that the mushroom production training has created a favourable attitude among the trainees and also enhanced the economic level of beneficiaries who adopted it as a source of livelihood.</div>
