Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Buldana and Yavatmal were selected purposively as  these KVKs have organized trainings on water productivity practices. From each KVK , 25 respondents who attended the  trainings were selected randomly. Thus a total 50 respondents were personally contacted for data collection.
