 ABSTRACT

Krishi Vigyan Kendra is a Government of India funded Indian Council Agricultural Research Project implemented at district level for enhancing the productivity and livelihood through scientific extension works. Realizing the importance of technology dissemination in the changing scenario of food and nutritional security, ICAR intervened in a big way. All the firstline extension projects were merged and brought under single umbrella of Krishi Vigyan Kendra. The major emphasis was to enhance the production and productivity as well as to generate household income and employment of farming community. Krishi Vigyan Kendra conducts on-farm testing to identify the location specificity of agricultural technologies under various farming systems and frontline demonstrations to establish its production potentials on the farmers’ fields. It trains the farmers to update their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural technologies and trains extension personnel to orient them in the frontier areas of technology development. In social research, attitude of a person or group towards social problems or any psychological object is of paramount importance. Attitude defined as the degree of positive or negative effect associated with some psychological object. The attitude of trainees towards KVK was measured with the help of scale developed specially for the purpose. The trainees were categorized into three groups viz., less favourable, favourable and more favourable groups based on frequency and percentage.
