The study was carried out during the year 2017 to assess the adoption status of practices imparted under thirteen long duration vocational training courses on Garment construction and enrichment conducted by different Krishi Vigyan Kendras of Punjab. Out of total 207 trainees, a sample of 54 trainees was drawn by applying probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method and data were collected personally from the selected trainees by using an interview schedule. The findings of the study revealed that hundred per cent trainees adopted the practice on material selection before garment construction, washing the clothes according to the instructions given by firm and stain removing techniques imparted under garment construction and enrichment training course, hence had highest adoption status whereas, practice on hand embroidery on clothes had lowest adoption status. Lack of time and difficulty of task were the major reasons for non-adoption. Maximum number of enterprises was established by the trainees of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Bathinda.
