According to their level of causes of climate change, during pre-intervention 100 per cent of the respondents had attained low level of awareness regarding causes of climate change whereas after post-intervention 98 per cent of the respondents had attained high level on causes of climate change. Similarly, during pre-intervention respondents were attained low level of awareness regarding adaptation practices to climate change whereas after post-intervention respondents were attained high level of awareness regarding adaptation practices to climate change. The post-intervention results shows that majority of the respondents were gained in knowledge on adaptation strategies to cope up with climate change.
