Our Assessment

medium

Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) continue to be strengthened for digital advisory, technology demonstration and farmer awareness, and were actively tasked with disseminating new crop varieties and natural-farming practices (the PM specifically directed KVKs to proactively inform farmers about newly developed seed varieties). However, a formal, evidenced conversion of all KVKs into one-stop skill-development centres as a distinct programme is not clearly established. Partial.
