Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) is a rural agricultural extension center established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) to promote and disseminate agricultural technologies and innovations among farmers and rural communities. KVKs serve as hubs for agricultural education, training, research, and extension activities at the grassroots level.
Each KVK is located in a specific agro-climatic zone and focuses on addressing the agricultural needs and challenges of the local farming community. They offer a range of services, including demonstrations of improved farming practices, on-farm trials of new technologies, capacity-building programs for farmers and extension personnel, and advisory services on crop production, animal husbandry, horticulture, agroforestry, and natural resource management.
KVKs collaborate closely with farmers, agricultural scientists, government agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders to identify local priorities, develop customized solutions, and facilitate technology transfer and adoption. They play a crucial role in bridging the gap between research institutions and farmers, ensuring that scientific knowledge and innovations are accessible, relevant, and beneficial to rural livelihoods and agricultural development.
