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.
