Two hundred boys from two different government schools of Gundi (with agricultural education) and Koth (no agricultural education) village of Dholka taluka were administered a questionnaire comprising questions related to agricultural aspects. Based on the findings of this study, the conclusion was drawn as the students studying agricultural education programme have medium level of knowledge about agriculture and the adaptability was higher in that students compared to those students who were studying in schools where there is no agriculture education. The intervention gave positive results on the knowledge level of respondents. More emphasis should be given by organizing intervention programme to those area of agriculture where the students had less knowledge for improving the knowledge level of youngsters.
