This study aimed at analyzing the practical usefulness of fisheries technical skills acquired by the participants while attending the fisheries training programmes conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, South Tripura during last decade. The entrepreneurs who received training were categorized under three group viz. Farmers, Rural Youths and Farm women. Response regarding usefulness of fisheries technical skills was recorded in five point ordinal scale using telephonic interview and text messaging with randomly selected entrepreneurs. The Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test showed that there was significant difference in at least two groups with respect to the usefulness of fisheries technical skills gained from training during the period under study. We further proceeded for post hoc test through pair wise comparison of average mean ranks of entrepreneurs under all the groups viz. Farmers (Male), Rural Youths and Farm women. It was observed that the usefulness of fisheries technical skills gained from training conducted by KVK, South Tipura was higher for farm women as compared to that of trained farmers and rural youths. The usefulness of fisheries technical skills by farmers and rural youths were also ranked good, but post hoc test and pairwise comparison did not show significant difference between two. Scope exits for KVK, South Tripura to make the skill development programmes more useful by improving training content as well as by creating suitable situation for the trainees to use the acquired skills properly.
