Welcome

The Vidya Bhawan Krishi Vigyan Kendra (VBKVK) was established in 1984 by signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Vidya Bhawan Society and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).

KVKs (Farm Science Centres) aim to achieve "fine tuning of agriculture technologies, training of farmers, rural youth, extension personnel and execution of programmes of national importance".

The VBKVK is presently conducting trainings in agriculture and allied activities. It also aims to create models of sustainable technology to be used at village level. These models can then be replicated by local organizations for training of farming community and extension personals.

The institutional design of KVKs across India was formulated under the Chairmanship of Dr. Mohan Sinha Mehta, founder of Vidya Bhawan, in 1973.
