 Capacity Development
 Advisory services

Activities of KVK:

1. On-farm testing to assess the location specificity of agricultural technologies under

various farming systems.
2. Frontline demonstrations to establish production potential of technologies on the
farmers’ fields.
3. Capacity development of farmers and extension personnel to update their
knowledge and skills on modern agricultural technologies.

HISTORY

In 1974, ICAR has appointed Mohan Singh Mehata Committee to formulate KVK scheme.
The first KVK was established in 1974 at Pondicherry (Tamil Nadu) under the administrative
control of Tamilnadu Agriculture University, Coimbatore. The main objective of KVK was to
impart training at the center and villages too based on the needs of villagers about
agriculture and other allied activities. Since, to provide technical literacy to increase
agricultural production, the teaching design was based on the philosophy of teaching by
doing and also learning by doing. This fills the gaps between farmers and scientist.

Krishi Vigyan Kendra – KVK Portal

The government has launched a Krishi Vigyan Kendra online portal in the year 2018. The
KVK portal assists in the national monitoring of all KVK centers and the provision of
timely advisories to farmers.

KVK Portal – Objectives

 Observe the activities and resource utilization of various Krishi Vigyan

Kendras
 Creating a database of all of the KVK’s various programs
 Using web-portal and mobile technology, assisting farmers in resolving their
issues
 Providing farmers with timely weather and market information via the portal.
In addition, providing information about the KVK’s various facilities and
activities
 Farmers and Agricultural Officers, for example, can register and gain access to
relevant information about different Krishi Vigyan Kendras.
 Care should be taken to make a sharp clean cut at both the ends of cuttings
without splitting the bark.
 Manually/power operated mulberry cutter (stem cutting machine) is available for
quick cutting of propagation material.
