Abstract
The present study was carried out on relationship of the selected non- tribal rural women with their training needs to animal husbandry practices in Godda district of Jharkhand and assessed the impact of interventions by both the Non-Government Organization (NGO) and District Administration of the state. Jharkhand is traditionally known as the mineral (40%) rich state of east India with dense forest area, accounting for about 3.4% forest area of India. Jharkhand state has less than 50% non-tribal population. Other backward classes, Scheduled Castes (SCs) and tribes (STs) together constitute more than 50% of the state’s population. Agricultural activities are counted as the main economic occupation of the state. About 75.95% of the population of the state are rural. This exploratory study was conducted in the non- tribal populated districts of Jharkhand state. Case study methodology for the purpose of the present study has been deliberately chosen so as to best understand and analyse the problems of non- tribal dairy farmers. 300 non- tribal dairy families were selected who were educated, trained and empowered by various NGOs and department of state Government of Jharkhand. Therefore concluded that majority of the respondents were falling under the category of low to medium level socio-economic standards, so appropriate policy implications has to be developed to enhance their standard of living and livelihood status.
