The study was conducted in Bagalkot district, Karnataka to find out the impact of training programmes of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bagalkot, Karnataka on adoption of agricultural technologies by the trainee rural women. In total 120 trained and 120 untrained rural women were selected for the study. The results revealed that more number of trained women adopted dairy management technology whereas integrated farming system technology was adopted by less number. Main occupation of the families showed positive and significant and size of landholdings exhibited significant but negative relationship with adoption level. Major constraints faced by trained women in adoption of agricultural technologies were lack of finance, non-cooperation and lack of family encouragement, lack of market facilities and non-availability of raw materials.
