Aim: To study the socio-personal, economic, communication, psychological, and situational characteristics of the farmers. Study Design: Descriptive design. Place and Duration of Study: Malwa region of Punjab, between first week of October 2019 to mid-December 2019. Methodology: Multi-stage sampling was followed. Malwa region was selected purposively because of the maximum number of stubble-burning incidents reported in the area during 2018. Within Malwa region, three districts (Bathinda, Sangrur and Ludhiana) were selected randomly. One block was selected randomly from each district and two villages were selected randomly from each selected block. The sample size of 246 was determined using Cochran’s formula and the selection of farmers was based on proportional allocation. Based on the literature, a total of 14 characteristics were taken to document the profile of the farmers who were engaged in the stubble burning behaviour. Results: The results indicated that most of the respondents were middle-aged (65.46%), male (91.06%), had formal education up to intermediate level (21.95%) and possessed semi-medium (5-10 acres) landholding (27.24%). Economic characteristics revealed that 51.46% farmers earned low annual income (<Rs. 50,000- Rs.4,50,000), possessed lager milch animals (98.78%) and were practicing specialized farming (45.93%). More than half (51.63%) of the farmers possessed medium information seeking behaviour. Among psychological and situational characteristics, most of the farmers showed medium levels of innovativeness (49.19%), risk orientation (47.15%) and scientific orientation (57.32%) while high levels of ecological consciousness (45.53%) and economic motivation (42.28%). Most of the farmers (45.93%) showed medium level of awareness towards various stubble management measures. Conclusion: The analysis of these profile characteristics could be crucial in segmenting the farmer respondents and designing target-specific appropriate interventions to tackle the stubble burning behaviour of the farmers.

“…The training need identification is therefore an essential requirement for a successful training process, and the lack of this procedure jeopardizes a sound and strong diagnosis of a training program (Anderson 1994, Bowman andWilson 2008). Hence, training-need analysis in agricultural and allied sectors must be determined, and subsequently, relevant trainings must be offered (Dash et al 2019).…”

Tribal youth form a considerable part of the country’s tribal population. They face risks related to education,employment, training, drug and alcohol addiction, illiteracy, malnutrition, powerlessness, etc. Making tribal youthemployable is quite challenging and the government is putting efforts towards conducting skill-based training butstill, there is a lack of proper strategy. Agri-enterprises in tribal areas will be able to channelize tribal youth in aneffective manner for regional and consequently national development. Descriptive and analytical research designwas used to meet the objectives of the study. Twelve villages from 3 blocks of Koraput district of Odisha in the year2019–20 were selected purposively. A sample of 246 tribal youth was selected through proportional allocation byusing Cochran’s formula. Cronbach’s alpha was used to test the reliability of the sub areas under each major area ofagricultural enterprise and was found to be high (a–0.91). Training needs of tribal youth in various agri-enterpriseswere calculated through the Borich model of Training Need Assessment. It was found that the village was the mostfavourable place for receiving training for about 7–15 days in a group of 21–30 members in the evening hours fromOctober to December. Scientists and grass-root extension workers were preferred the most for conducting regularized agricultural trainings along with periodic follow-up visits by trainers for monitoring their progress. This research will assist the trainers in designing location-specific training module and help the policy makers to design suitable policies for tribal youth who aspire to take agricultural enterprises.
