Training helps to provide an opportunity and broad structure for the development of human resources and technical skills. Training is one of the extension method used to disseminate technologies to rural community, which in turn updates and improves the knowledge among the rural people. With this background the study was conducted in Dharwad district. Total 300 rural women [150 rural women trained by District Agricultural Training Centre (DATC) and 150 untrained] were selected and the data was collected with the help of pre tested interview schedule. Analysis of the study revealed that majority of the trained rural women had medium level of knowledge about integrated pest management (56.70 %), integrated farming system (73.40%), dairy management (63.30%) and seed treatment (73.30%). Whereas, 43.30 per cent of rural women had high level of knowledge about organic farming. While, untrained rural women showed low level of knowledge with respect to different agricultural and allied technologies except dairy management. Training programmes conducted by DATC had a positive impact on knowledge gain of agricultural and allied technologies of rural women. Such trainings should be conducted to empower rural women technically and economically.
