“…KVK bridges the gap between the technologies developed at the research institutions and their adoption at the field level by the farmers through various approaches (Nagaraj et al, 2017). Several extension activities are being carried out by KVKs as per the requirement and situation of the farmers in its respective district and extension approaches followed for that are also different.…”

The Government of India through the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) has established a wide network of Krishi Vigyan Kendra's (KVKs) in all the rural districts of the country. These Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) also known as Farm science centers in India, are one of the key extension systems and an integral part of the National Agricultural Research System (NARS) in the country. Agricultural innovations and diffusion of new technologies are key drivers to attain food security in the country besides providing farmers a competitive edge over traditional farming, thus facilitating better standards of living. To realize their true potential, farmers must have access to the state-of-the-art technologies, necessary inputs and related information in all the segments, be it crop, livestock, forestry, or fisheries. KVK does a wonderful job in this direction. Being one of its kind in the world, it aims at the assessment of location specific technology modules in agriculture and allied enterprises through assessment and demonstrations with relevant training to farmers.

“…The finding clearly indicated that lack of formal education on the part of the farmers did not impede their acquisition of knowledge of the farm technology through available sources of communication. Thus it implies that education although is a boon, the lack of it does not pose a serious problem before the extension agencies in effectively disseminating improved farm technology and developing entrepreneurship in the farming community (Nagaraj et al, 2017).…”

Background: In the process of agricultural development, the prime mover is considered to be the new farming technology. Technology plays a pivotal role in every aspect of the agricultural phenomenon. It enhances productivity and transparency at every step of agricultural movements. Quality and quantity are managed through this facility which improves farmers’ socioeconomic status and mental health. From this perspective, technological involvement must be necessary with the human values. Methods: The study was conducted during 2019-21 to identify the role of different socio-economic variables and their correlation to the technology know-how of farm entrepreneurs of the Samastipur district of Bihar, India. Knowledge of the improved farm technology possessed by the farmers was considered a dependent variable and 17 socioeconomic and psychological variables were considered independent variables. Result: It was concluded from the study that variables like material possession of higher assets and more investment in irrigation were found to dominate in respect of the acquisition of knowledge about farm technology. Lack of formal education on the part of the farmers did not impede their acquisition of knowledge of the farm technology through available sources of communication. The human resources variables were found to influence the acquisition of knowledge by the respondents.

“…The KVK scientists have to equip themselves for 'technology application' -a process which includes the above mentioned processes; thus contributing their part in the overall process of agricultural/fishery technology development [7]. The transfer of technology is an issue way forward for the KVK and the entire stakeholders involved are to upscale the interventions in terms of technologies considering vertical and horizontal spread [8]. Today KVK stands as a bridge between the research laboratories and the application of modern agricultural science in rural India through the technology development and delivery system.…”

Krishi Vigyan Kendra was established initially to impart training to the different stakeholders of the farming community as a method of technology delivery system. As the time passed by this grass root institution has undergone a tremendous change, starting from technology generation, testing, verification and ultimately onwards transmission to the end users for the enhancement of the productivity in particular and for the overall socio- economic development of the rural people in general with its mandated programmes. The work was conducted with 10 independent variables and one dependent variable-.i.e. Production orientation (y). Purposive as well as simple random techniques were adopted for the study. Among 50 adopted KVK farmers of the selected villages only 22 adopted farmers have been randomly selected and more 22 non adopted farmers and thus altogether 44 farmers have been randomly selected for the study. The results revealed that adoption of improved and newer technology requires decision by farmers, and scientific orientation is a degree to which respondents can orient to the use of scientific methods in relation to adoption behavior. It is an important psychological factor in decision making process. It is concluded that people with progressive attitude will always try to involve themselves in all activities through which more annual income can be achieved and education plays a vital role for adoption process. Training plays important role for improvement of KVK. In the last phase of stepwise regression analysis it is seen that mechanization in family has got some functional impact on production orientation. Mechanization in family determines the adoption of new technology which increases farm production. So it is clear that KVK is an institutional project of ICAR to demonstrate the application of science and technology input of agricultural research and education in the farmers field in the rural areas.
