Core Activities

  On Farm Testing and Technology Refinement :
on-farm testing to identify the location specificity of agricultural technologies under various farming systems.
  On-farm experiments are conducted in the fields of representative farmers and to examine a small number of
             experimental variables.
  On-farm experiments are conducted in the fields of representative farmers and to examine a small number of
             experimental variables.
   Non experimental variables are usually set at the level of representative farmer management.
  Training Field Functionaries :
  Imparting need based training to farmers and form women in location specific technologies in field, crops,
             horticultural crops, animal husbandry etc.
  Imparting training to extension functionaries of State Development within the area of operation with emerging
             advances in agricultural research.
   Training of extension personnel to orient them in the frontier areas of technology development.
  Vocational Training :
  Organization of vocational training to rural youths in dairy farming, vermicomposting, fruit & vegetable processing,
              poultry farming etc.

   Frontline Demonstrations :

Frontline demonstrations to establish its production potentials on the farmers’ fields, training of farmers to update their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural technologies.

  To demonstrate the productive potential of newly released technologies to farmers’ conditions.
   To get first hand feedback on the contributory or limiting factors for achieving the productive potential of the new technology.
   To prepare technical leadership in the village, and
  To organise need based training programmes for Subject Matter Specialists, Extension Workers, Farmers etc.

   Extern Activities :

In addition, in order to speed up the process of dissemination of technology, a large number of various extension activities and production of seeds and planting materials are taken up by the KVKs.
