Krishi vigyan kendra for rural development

Abstract

Krishi Vigyan Kendras have established their geographical presence in almost every part of the country, spreading their wings from Niyam in Jammu and Kashmir to Nicobar in the Andaman. The KVKs have been doing yeoman service to the farming community even in the most difficult areas like border districts, left wing extremism affected areas and archipelago of islands like Lakshadweep. It is also important to note that the KVKs are emerging as the regional knowledge hubs and are earning the goodwill of the farmers across the country. KVKs are part of National Agricultural Research and Extension System, whose strength lies in its multi-disciplinary composition, mulitstakeholder ownership and muli-faceted activities.
