The data were recorded from 75 respondents through the pre-tested structured interview schedule. Off–campus type of training was most preferred by 68 per cent, followed by on–campus. The majority of poultry farmers (74.7%) were chosen own village as “most preferred” venue for training. Among those who perceived constraints in receiving training 72.88 per cent perceived that family obligations do not permit to participate in training
