Assessment of training needs, especially in chickpea, while planning for the training of farmers and extension personnels is essential for its effectiveness. Kundam block is belongs to the major tribal farmers area of Jabalpur district. Chickpea is major pulse crop of rabi season. 10 villages were selected as per majority of the area under Chickpea crop.
