Activities

Training

On an average this KVK conducts 100 to 120 need- based training programs in a year for farmers, farmwomen, rural youth and extension personnel. 35-45% of them are long duration trainings.

More emphasis is given on long duration practical, self employment oriented trainings for school dropouts & unemployed rural youth.

Many participants on completion of the training have been successfully self employed by way of establishing their own poultry, goatery, nursery, dairy & sericulture units.

Efforts are made to empower the women technically, as they play very vital role in agricultural operations. Farmer's groups may approach the KVK for customized trainings.

Demonstrations

Every year Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducts more than 150 demonstrations on farmer's fields on various technologies released by research institutes and universities to realize the production potential of crops.

These are mainly related to latest released varieties, methods to control pest & diseases, technologies to increase yields, agri implements to reduce drudgery of women, technologies to reduce production cost etc.
