    abstract = {This study was carried out to describe the perception of Block Supervisors (BSs) of On-the-Job Training (OJT). Four out of 13 <I>upazilas</I> (sub-district) in Kishoreganj district were selected randomly. In the selected <I>upazilas</I>, 111 BSs posted in different blocks those were the sample for the study. A set of questionnaires was used for collecting data through personal interview during a period from July to August, 2004. Findings indicated that 41% of the BSs had a slightly favorable perception of OJT, while 37% had a highly favorable perception of OJT. Discriminant analysis indicated that two statements, such as &quot;OJT could minimize the likelihood of making the same mistakes while serving farmers&quot; and &quot;OJT permits periodic transfer from one <I>upazila</I> or district to another <I>upazila </I>or district, which could be helpful to form their new skills&quot; were placed the BSs in the group of highly favorable perception of OJT. Implications of these results are given and recommendations are made.}
