Majority of them had medium guidance and supervision, mass media exposure, innovativeness, risk preference, rational decision making ability, achievement motivation, job satisfaction, scientific orientation and were having medium attitude followed by high and low attitude towards training. Except age and experience remaining ten variables i.e innovativeness, risk preference, rational decision making ability and achievement motivation had positive and significant relationship with attitude of para-veterinarians towards training.
