Abstract
A study on the knowledge level of the tribal and non-tribal farm women in the Goalpara district of Assam was conducted in order to find if there was any difference in knowledge level between the two. A total of 40 tribal and 40 non tribal farm women were randomly selected from two blocks of the aforesaid district. The mean knowledge level of the non-tribal farm women was significantly higher than their tribal counterparts. Moreover knowledge level of the farm women was significantly related with their land holding and number of livestock. It was also revealed that land holding, number of livestock, family size and age had significant influence on the level of knowledge of the farm women in improved animal husbandry.
Key words: Farm women, Improved animal husbandry, Tribal and Non-tribal.
