KVK RAISEN

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi granted its sanction for establishment of the Krishi Vigyan Kendra for Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh under DKVAAS (Deendayal Krishi Vikas Avam Anusandhan Samiti), Bhopal (M.P.) in August 2003. However the actual implementation of its programmes could be started during March, 20 04 after recruitment of staff. Before launching its programmes and activities, a Benchmark survey (Participatory Rural Appraisal) of the selected villages of different blocks was done to make a socio-economic appraisal and to understand the existing practices of the farmers and adoption of villages. This enabled the KVK to identify the requirements of the farmers and critical needs as well as technological gaps. This formed the basis for training needs, front line demonstration and on-farm testing by the KVK. Simultaneously for the strengthening of training-cum-demonstration the farm development and infrastructure work was also starte d.
