1. Technology
Assessment & Refinement
For any major problem in agriculture there are many remedies suggested
by various research organizations. Through on farm testing Krishi Vigyan
Kendra does comparative studies in farmers fields to come to conclusion
which of the technologies tested is more suitable to the resources
available & is cost effective. This is a form of participatory study
where farmers’ perspective is given most importance. The results of such
studies can later be made available to farmers.
2.
Training
On an average this KVK
conducts 60 to 70 need- based training programs in a year for farmers,
farmwomen & rural youth. 30-40% of them are long duration trainings.
More emphasis has been given on self employment oriented training for
school dropouts, unemployed rural youth and women folk . Many
participants on completion of the training have been successfully self
employed by way of establishing their own specialized farms, vegetable
and fruit Nursery, dairy, beekeeping & value added product unit.
Efforts have also been concentrated to empower the women component
technically as they play a very vital role in agricultural operations.
All these training programmes are designed on the basis of learning by
doing in which full use of audio-visual aids is done in class rooms and
practical exposure is given in field.

Every year Krishi Vigyan
Kendra conducts several demonstrations on farmers fields on technologies
