About Krishi Vigyan Kendra

Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Farm Science Centre) is an innovative science based institution which was given shape by Indian Council of agricultural Research (ICAR) after recommendation of Mehta Committee (1973) with prime mandate to impart vocational training to the farmers and field level extension workers. Accordingly, in the proposal it was recommended to have one Krishi Vigyan Kendra in every district of Indian Union for effective transfer of technology developed in the laboratory for the field application at farmer's level.

The concept of vocational training in Agriculture through KVK grew substantially due to greater demand for improved agricultural technology by the farmers. They not only required knowledge and understanding of the intricacy of technologies but also progressively more and more skills in various complex agricultural operations for adoption on their farms.

On Farm Trials

An On-farm trial of KVK aims to test a new technology/variety or an idea in farmer’s field, under farmer’s conditions and management, by using farmer’s own practice as control. It helps to develop innovations consistent with farmer’s circumstances, compatible with the actual farming system and corresponding to farmer’s goals and preferences.

Front Line Demonstration

The main objective of Front-Line Demonstrations is to demonstrate newly released crop production and protection technologies and its management practices in the farmers’ field under different agro-climatic regions and farming situations.
