ANSWER: Both 1 and 2
 
  • There are 645 Krishi VigyanKendra’s (KVKs) in the country.
  • These centres are established in the Rural Districts of the country. Each KVK has direct interface with at least 1000 farmers.
  • As the information related to KVK is not available at one place at the National Level, the farmers and other stakeholders had difficulty in accessing the information.
  • Also there was no online monitoring system at the National level to review and monitor the functioning of KVKs against the mandates and objectives.
  • Recently Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) portal (http://kvk.icar.gov.in) has been launched.
