Abstract:
Results of the study indicate that 63.20 per cent participants of age group
between 15 and 35 years joined the correspondence course with security motive
ie securing a job in the agricultural field on the strength of the certificate of the
course.
But participants of age group 36 years and above (36.80%) joined the
course with the self actualisation motive, ie. to acquire more knowledge about
paddy cultivation and thus mastery of the subject. In both the cases, educational
background of participants has no significant role in motivation.
