and create employment opportunity for unemployed
farm women in rural area. Vocational
Training programme is generally conducted by the Krishi Vigyan Kendras with a goal that the
trainee becomes an entrepreneur based on the acquired knowledge and skill. The vocational
training programmes were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Virudhunagar district to empower
income generating ability of Self Help Groups (SHGs). Out of twelve SHGs trained, twenty five
women from eight different SHGs were randomly selected for the present study. Findings of
the study revealed that most of the trainees were in the age group of 21-35 yrs of age. Majority
of them (36 %) were having education up to middle followed by matriculation (28 %). Four
respondents (16 %) were landless, more than half (64 %) of these mushroom producers were
small and marginal farm women and five (20%) were medium farm women. Total cost for
mushroom production per unit was Rs. 44,823/- and gross income was Rs. 1,35,000/-. Hence
each respondent may get Rs. 90,000/- as net income from their own unit every year. The mode
of marketing was mainly direct sale in the unit itself, door delivery and local sale etc |
