An Ex Post Facto study was conducted in four clusters of villages in South Andaman block, Port Blair of South Andaman district. The respondents comprising of 240 farm women who had undergone three days training from KVK-CARI, Port Blair and also untrained (30 each in both category) on the subjects / enterprises namely mushroom cultivation, kitchen gardening, layer farming and fresh water pisciculture were randomly selected to infer the knowledge gain, adoption and the attitude towards the training. The respondents in the trained category gained medium level of knowledge, adoption and attitude towards training, whereas those of untrained gained low level. Among the total respondents in the trained farm women category, more than half (63.34%) showed medium level of adoption followed by high (23.33%) and low (13.33%), whereas in the untrained farm women category a little more than half (50.84%) showed low level of adoption followed by medium (28.33%) and high (20.83%) in all enterprises. It could be noticed that among the total respondents in the trained women category, more than half (60.83%) showed medium level of attitude towards training followed by high (27.50%) and low (11.67%), whereas in the case of untrained farm women a little less than half (48.33%) showed low level of attitude towards training followed by medium (30.00%) and high (21.67%). The finding will be of immense help in modifying the training process and regulating the variables to make them effective. It will also help the trainers in planning and designing the programmes on scientific lines.
