Abstract

Rice, being the principal cereal crop in the UBVZ of Assam is the most important topic covered under training in KVK. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) are the most important among training programmes as far as rice production technology is concerned. KVKs have been effective in case of transfer of technologies to farmers. The present study was conducted in Assam at 5 different districts of KVKs. A purposive and random sampling design was followed for the selection of the KVK and respondents. Majority of respondents (58.75%) had medium level of knowledge and 52.80 per cent had medium extent of adoption of the selected technology practices that were imparted in the training conducted by the KVKs.
