About us
Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Farm Science Centre), an innovative
science based institutions, is established mainly to impart
vocational training to the farmers and field level extension
workers. The training programmes were designed to impart the
latest knowledge to the farmers through work experience by
applying the principles of ‘Teaching by Doing’ and ‘Learning by
Doing’. The prime goal of KVK is to impart training as per needs
and requirements in agriculture and allied enterprises to all
farmers, farm women and farm youths including school drop-outs
in the rural area. The effectiveness of the KVK was further
enhanced by adding the activities related to on-farm testing and
Front-Line Demonstration on major agricultural technologies in
order to make the training of farmers location specific, need
based and resource-oriented.
