Popis: Training strategy is a vision, direction, action, planning for training and development in an organization that requires implementation to achieve success. The study assessed the training strategies preferred by the horticulture extension personnel for attending trainings in Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir. A total of 200 horticulture extension personnel (Horticulture development officers and horticultural technicians) were sampled for obtaining training by proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were analysed by using frequency and percentage. The finding of the study revealed that more than one half (63%) horticulture development officers and 53 per cent horticulture technicians preferred 3–5 days training programme. Majority (60%) Horticulture development officers (HDOs) preferred SKUAST-J Chatha and about one half (45%) horticulture technicians preferred their respective district head office/KVKs as venue for attending training programme. Both horticulture development officers and horticulture technicians preferred to attend training programme in the month of October-December. Trainers for training from outside state were preferred by more than one half (53%) horticulture development officers where trainers out of their parent organisation but within the state were preferred by 3/4th of the horticulture technicians for obtaining trainings, respectively. Method as well as result demonstration techniques were perceived as very effective training methods. Major constraint expressed by horticulture development officers was shortage of staff, where pay anomalies, excess work load and lack of promotional avenues were major constraint expressed by the horticulture technicians in performing their job.
