Abstract: Climate change is an emerging area of science; capacity building of rural youth, farmers, and young scientists on simulation modeling, high through put phenol typing, greenhouse gasses measurement, etc. is being taken up through training programs organized in India and sponsoring scientists abroad. Simultaneously, more than 100 training programs have been organized across the country covering 50000 farmers to create awareness on climate change and variability. An investigation was carried out during the May month of 2018 on evaluation of training on backyard poultry. In this programmes farmers are being use of community lands for fodder production during droughts/floods, improved fodder/feed storage methods, preventive vaccination, improved shelters for reducing heat stress in livestock, management of fish ponds/tanks during water scarcity and excess water, etc. The strategic research has been planned at leading research institutes of ICAR in a network mode covering crops, horticulture, livestock, natural resource management and fisheries sectors. A case of entrepreneurship development among land less and marginal farmers at tehsil mawan of Meerut district (U.P.) On the basis of study, it may be concluded that training on disease management of chicks is most important area where training is highly required followed by improved breeding. The findings also showed that education, socio-economic status, scientific orientation, land holding, social participation and marketing intelligence having the positive correlation with amount of knowledge gained by participant. The knowledge gained during the three days training was calculated as 114%.
