DIRECTORATE OF EXTENSION EDUCATION

The Directorate of Extension Education is actively involved in transfer of latest technologies emerging out of research laboratories to the farmers’ fields and getting feedback for further fruitful linkages. The Directorate of Extension Education in this university started functioning in 1962 in Nainital district with a team of only three scientists. Later on, the services were extended to 16 districts of undivided Uttar Pradesh, which were further, extended to 19 districts of western plains and hill in the year 1973. Finally, the jurisdiction area of the Directorate extended to 28 districts before the formation of Uttarakhand in 2000.

In newly created state of Uttarakhand, the area of responsibility of the university was all districts of Uttarakhand, which is presently limited to 9 districts (Almora, Chamoli, Champawat, Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Rudrapurayag and U.S. Nagar) including 3 districts of tarai/bhabhar and plains. Because of the varied agro climatic, geographical, and biophysical and socio economic conditions of the state, the work of validation and refinement of newly developed technologies and transfer of technologies has become very challenging. The Directorate of Extension Education accepted this challenge and is performing various extension activities through different units like 9 KVKs (working at grass root level), training and visit unit, SAMETI- Uttarakhand, ATIC at headquarter and extension wings of different colleges.

Our Vision

To see Self Reliant, Healthy Rural Populous with Rich Agricultural Knowledge and Good Marketing Intelligence

Mandate of KVK

The mandate of KVK is Technology Assessment and Demonstration for its Application and Capacity Development.

Activities

To implement the mandate effectively, the following activities are envisaged for eachKVK

On-farm testing to assess the location specificity of agricultural technologies under various farming systems.
Frontline demonstrations to establish production potential of technologies on the farmers’ fields.
Capacity development of farmers and extension personnel to update their knowledge and skills on modern agricultural technologies.
To work as Knowledge and Resource Centre of agricultural technologies for supporting initiatives of public, private and voluntary sector in improving the agricultural economy of the district.
Provide farm advisories using ICT and other media means on varied subjects of interest to farmers.

In addition, KVKs produce quality technological products (seed, planting material, bio- agents, livestock) and make it available to farmers, organize frontline extension activities, identify and document selected farm innovations and converge with ongoing schemes and programs within the mandate of KVK.
