India is a large agricultural country with around 50% of its population depending on agriculture and allied sector while it contributes only 17% of the GDP. Technological change has been the major driving force for increasing agricultural productivity and promoting agriculture development. Technology transfer should aim at enhancing the socio-economic standards of rural farmers by upgrading their knowledge and skills. Agricultural innovations and diffusion of new technologies are important factors for all developing countries like India in their quest for food and nutritional security and improving the quality of life of people engaged in agriculture and related activities. This necessitates that farmers must have access to sustainable technology which is suitable to their micro-farming situations under various production systems operated under different agro-ecologies in the country. Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) is one such institution which is helping farmers in this area. In view of the crucial role played by KVKs in technology transfer, the paper aims to assess the role of KVKs in technology sharing to the farmers. As new researches/innovations on agriculture and allied sectors is a continuous process in the country, the paper analyses whether and how these changes are known to farmers and are these changes becoming accessible to farmers and helping them? |
