Training is important process to make desirable change in the behaviour of the farmers so that they can adopt scientific dairy farming practices to increase their farm productivity. Many organizations including universities regularly organize such programmes. However, the evaluation of effectiveness of such programmes is an area which is often neglected. The present study was undertaken to assess the impact of scientific dairy trainings on the knowledge level of farmers in Hisar district of Haryana. 120 randomly selected trainees were assessed in pre and post phases of training with use of earlier developed specific interview schedule. Data were analysed with use of appropriate statistical tools Mean, Standard deviation, frequencies, percentage, mean score, mean percent score, Z-test, correlation .The study revealed that there was significantly increase in knowledge of trainees at the end of training. Maximum gain in knowledge was observed in feeding (22.71%), followed by marketing (21.11%), breeding (12.68%), management (12.66%) and animal health aspect (7.26%), respectively. The farmers who registered for the trainings were already having medium to high knowledge indicating that the farmers with poor knowledge were limited in numbers.
