dc.description.abstractAssessment of training needs and subsequent capacity enhancement are important for the efficient performance of extension workers. An investigation was conducted among the field level extension workers to identify the gaps in their technical skills pertaining to farming of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp. The study indicated that extension personnel lacked skills in on-farm disease diagnosis and management, water quality management, shrimp seed selection, pre-stocking water culture and biofloc technology concerned with L. vannamei shrimp farming. Study also indicated that differences in the socio-personal attributes of the respondents did not influence the training requirements. It was suggested that an onfarm experiential training programme using ‘group learning mode’ with appropriate training curriculum needs to be arranged at different locations covering the coastal states. Further, in the absence of strong research-extension linkage, ICT aided tools like expert system, mobile application and a knowledge portal on L. vannamei farming need to be developed, validated and uploaded by ICAR-CIBA for the capacity enhancement of field level extension workers.en_US
