IMPACT OF TRAINING KNOWLEDGE EMPOERMNENT IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMNT IN PMAY-LIFE AT KOTTAYAM MUNICPALITY, KERALA

Abstract

Over exploitation beyond the resource capability or an imbalanced use not in harmony without long term perspective leads to unabated degradation of the resource base, loss of biodiversity, the decline in total factor productivity in farming systems and environmental deterioration. As a part of Angikaar Campaign Kottayam Municipality had arranged a training programme on environment conservation for PMAY beneficiaries. Level of improvement was assessed before and after the training programme. For data, a collection questionnaire survey was employed. Obtained data were analysed with the support of statistical tools like SPSS software. From the study, we can conclude that there is a significant improvement in the level of knowledge after Angikaar training.
