Welcome to KVK Sonitpur



Krishi Vigyan Kendras, the farm science centres, are innovative institutions for making science more accessible to farming community. Agricultural technologies generated by the ICAR institutions, SAUs and other renowned organizations have not yet reached the end users, i.e. the farmers. A wide gap exists between the available technologies and their adoptions. It is also realized that farmers have their own reasons of adoption, non-adoption, partial adoption and/or rejection of technologies recommended for their use. Therefore, we at 'Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sonitpur' are thriving to introduce a new culture of making agricultural science more accessible to people.
