INTRODUCTION:-

India has 2.45% of the worlds land area and 17 % of the total population of the world. India is the 2nd most populated country in the world (China is first). About 72 percent population of our country use to practice agriculture. According to an estimate per capita cultivated land area availability which was 0.53 ha in 1950 and 0.195 ha in 1990, is expected to decrease to 0.121 ha by 2025 and 0.087 ha by 2050 putting a major challenge to meet all basic needs of our Indian masses. Because land for farming is decreasing continuously and on the other hand demand of food is increasing because of explosive population.

So that’s why govt. planned to establish kVk in every district there are 624 kvks in India managed by ICAR and State Agriculture Department .Kvk deliver every plan and technique to farmers what govt. had designed for them.
