Abstract: This study evaluates farmers' attitudes towards National Farming Training Programs by the National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE). The study focuses on the Medak district of Telangana, analysing farmer’s attitude towards MANAGE training programs by using a descriptive survey method, the research gathers data from 120 farmers. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques, such as structured questionnaires, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews, were employed. Medak District's diverse agricultural activities and reliance on both rain-fed and irrigated systems provide a robust context for the study. The findings reveal a predominantly rural farming community facing issues like market access and resource management. MANAGE's training programs, focusing on sustainable practices, integrated pest management, advanced irrigation, and post-harvest techniques, have significantly enhanced productivity and sustainability. This study underscores the positive impact of these programs on farmers' attitudes, highlighting areas for further improvement and development.
