Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) is the primary link for farmers to know about latest agricultural technology development. It serves as Farm Science Centre for diffusion of location specific technologies with minimum time gap between development and transfer to the end users. The KVK activities include on-farm testing of technology to establish the location specificity under various farming situations; frontline demonstrations to establish its production potential in the farmers’ fields; training of farmers to update their knowledge and skills in improved agricultural technology; and training of extension personnel for orientation to the frontier areas of agricultural technology development.

Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) works on the mandates of

· Conducting ‘on-farm testing’ for identifying location specific sustainable land use system.

· Organising training for extension personnel to update knowledge on emerging advances in agricultural research on regular basis.

· Organising both short term and long term vocational training for the farmers and rural youth on agriculture and allied vocations with emphasis on ‘learning by doing’ for enhanced production and self-employment generation.

· Organising ‘front line demonstration’ of various crops to generate production data and feed back information.

Objectives of Zone III

1. Planning and conducting survey in the operational area in order to prepare the resource inventory with special reference to training needs of the farming community.

2. Planning and conducting production oriented, need-based short and long term training, both on campus and off campus, for various target groups with priority on the weaker and poor section of the society.

3. Developing and organizing non-formal educational programmes by way of field days, farm visits, farmers fair, radio talk, Farm Science Clubs etc. as the follow up information support to the training courses.

4. Organizing Farm Science Clubs, both in rural schools and in villages in order to induce in younger generation a liking for and an interest for agricultural and allied sciences and scientific farming through supervised projects. 5. Developing and maintaining the campus farmsand demonstration units on scientific lines as the facilities for providing work experience to the trainees and also disseminating the latest technical know how.

6. Providing practical facilities of the Kendra to the teachers and the students of the vocational agriculture of the higher secondary schools.

7. Imparting some general education to rural illiterates and school dropouts in order to make them not only good farmers but also better citizens.

8. Providing added training facilities in the areas of home making and nutrition education for rural community.

9. Gradually enlarging the training facilities to encompass other important areas such as home crafts, cottage industries etc. consistent to the requirements of the Integrated Rural Development in collaboration with concerned organization.
