Assam is divided into 6 agro climatic zones based on physical and physiographic characteristics viz., North Bank Plains zone, Upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone, Central Brahmaputra Valley, Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone, Barak Valley Zone and Hills Zone, and Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Karbi Anglong is situated in the Hills Zone. The Hills Zone is comprised of two districts i.e., Karbi Anglong and North Cachar Hills with a total area of 15,222 sq km. Karbi Anglong is the biggest district of Assam with an area of 10,332 sq km. The average density of population in the zone is 53 persons per sq km.. Of the total covered area Karbi Anglong and N.C. Hills districts occupy 66 % and 54 % respectively. This Zone has a population of 8,13,524 (1991). The zone comprises of 5 sub divisions, 19 AEO circles, 138 VLEWs, 2,854 number villages, 1,20,000 farm families and 95 numbers FMCs, 68 numbers of Irrigation projects(1991).

The district by and large is characterized by fragility, marginality, inaccessibility, cultural heterogeneity, ethnicity and rich biodiversity. Rural population is about 90%. In absence of industry the society is agrarian and depends on agriculture and allied sector activities for livelihood and other necessities.

The agricultural production system is characterized by low cropping intensity(125%), of subsistence level and mono-cropping. The size of average land holding is 1.48 ha compared to the national average of 0.69hectare. Although the holding size appears to be larger the entire holding cannot be used for agricultural purpose due to topographical disadvantages. Land use pattern is relatively faulty leading to huge loss of the top soil and consequently rendering most soils unsuitable for crop production. Similarly water harvesting measures are also insufficient leading to underutilization of the precipitation received annually. Fertilizer consumption in the district is also low which stands at around 19.25 kg/ha.

KVKs provide training not only in agriculture and allied vocations but also in other income generating activities that may supplement the income of farm families. The method employed in training could be formal and non-formal or a combination of both, depending upon the need but emphasis remains to be on work experience, as suggested by Mohan Singh Mehta committee report that " the programme should be operated s a pla of continuing education both in the technical and general sense".

Farming system followed is purely rice based. Second major crop is rape and mustard. Mixed farming is a frequent sight as most farmers want to produce his household food and nutritional need without having to depend on outside sources. The system therefore supports a large horticultural and animal husbandry based to meet the animal protein need of the tribal peoples almost 100% of whom are tribes.
