Farmer’s participation in Krishi Vigyan Kendras of Tamil Nadu: A footfall analysis

Senthilkumar M, Dhivya C and R Arunkumar

The Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) in Tamil Nadu play a pivotal role in disseminating agricultural knowledge and innovations to farmers. This study focuses on analyzing the footfall of farmers in KVKs to gauge their participation and engagement levels. By examining data from various KVKs across the state, the research aims to identify trends, patterns, and factors influencing farmer participation. The study focuses on consolidating and digitizing the current database of farmers managed by 14 ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) affiliated with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU). Through a systematic analysis of farmer profiles and documentation of the technological assistance they have received, the research aims to map the extent of KVK interventions across the region. The study involves a comprehensive review based on gender, caste, land holding and age. By digitizing these records, the project will enhance data accessibility and facilitate better decision-making. The analysis will uncover patterns and trends in farmer engagement, providing insights into the effectiveness of KVK services. The findings will culminate in a set of recommendations aimed at improving KVK service delivery, thereby enhancing the overall support provided to the agricultural community in Tamil Nadu. This digitized and analytical approach will enable more efficient and targeted interventions, ultimately contributing to the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices in the region.
