    Why in News
    The 11th National Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Conference was held in New Delhi.

    Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK)


    KVK is an integral part of the National Agricultural Research System (NARS).
    It aims at assessment of location specific technology modules in agriculture and allied
    enterprises, through technology assessment, refinement and demonstrations.
    KVKs also produce quality technological products (seed, planting material, bio-agents,
    livestock) and make it available to farmers.
    The KVK scheme is 100% financed by the Government of India and the KVKs are
    sanctioned to Agricultural Universities, ICAR institutes, related Government
    Departments and Non Government Organizations (NGOs) working in Agriculture.
    The first KVK was established in 1974 at Puducherry.
    KVKs act as a bridge between the laboratories and farmland.These are crucial to
    fulfilling the target of doubling farmers’ income by 2022.

    Developments in Agriculture
    R&D has been done in the Agriculture sector.
    Superior crop varieties have been released. (Eg;-Wheat: HD 4728 (Pusa Malvi))
    171 mobile apps developed for farmers. (Eg:-Kisan Suvidha)
    More than three lakh Common Service Centres (CSCs) opened.
    eNAM portal has been created so that the farmer gets a better price for his
    produce.

    Note:

    It is estimated that India’s agriculture and allied sector accounts only for around 14%
    of the country’s economy but for 42% of total employment.
    1/2
    It is a matter of concern that within this sector, the contribution of Agriculture alone
    is lower than that of Horticulture, Fisheries and even Animal Husbandry.
