Abstract
The Krishi Vigyan Kendra organization acts for poverty alleviation, sustainable development in agriculture and socioeconomic progress of tribal women by providing quality training and extension in various aspects of vegetables production and retail marketing. Most respondents grow vegetables, and 80% are engaged in retail marketing. Education and younger age have a positive correlation with adoption of new technology and socioeconomic changes. A significant change is observed in the socioeconomic conditions of respondents, as they have higher income and can afford better houses, with radio, TV, CD player, fixed and mobile telephone. Other changes refer to good bank balance and better education for children. This situation also stimulates more participation in other training programs. The study confirms that the need based skill oriented training on improved vegetable production and retail marketing has been a milestone for the empowerment of tribal women.
