Abstract:
The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and knowledge gained by various stakeholders through millet training courses organized by ICAR-Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR). The millet short course on "Recent advances in millets crop production, processing, value addition, and marketing" and the refresher course on "Millets (Shree Anna) – model crops for sustainable farming, value addition, entrepreneurship development, and nutritional security," were designed to impart knowledge and skills related to millet cultivation, processing, and marketing. The study was conducted at ICAR-IIMR, Hyderabad to evaluate the effectiveness of short-course training programs on millets, with the participation of individuals from pan India. A total of 450 participants who had undergone millet training were selected for the study. The data was collected by using well well-framed interview schedule during the period 2023-24. The study design appears robust for assessing the knowledge acquisition and perception of participants in the millet training programs organized by ICAR-IIMR. The statistical analysis showed the significance among the selected factors in the context of millet-related practices, research, and value addition in providing valuable insights through short course training.
