About

Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Bareilly was established on 20^th December, 1985 at ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute Izatnagar. It comes under ICAR- Agricultural Technology Application Research Institute (ATARI), Kanpur (Zone-III) and working under the administrative control of ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI).  Prior to the establishment of KVK, the two ICAR Transfer of Technology (TOT) projects viz. Operational Research Project (ORP) on livestock and fodder improvement and Lab to Land programs (LLP) were functioning under the Joint Directorate of Extension Education since 1975-76 and 1979-80, respectively. As a policy matter the activities of ORP, LLP and KVK were being performed separately were merged together under the umbrella of KrishiVigyan Kendra during 1993-94. However, non-allotment of required land and the absence of KVK’s own instructional unit was affecting the KVK work and thus attracted attention of administration at the top which led to certain specific changes and earmarking of  46 acre land at IVRI campus for KVK during 1993-94. The KVK Bareilly utilized this land for infrastructure development. Presently, KVK is equipped with training hall  (2 No.) with all the modern audio visual aids, Soil testing lab, Home science lab and instructional farm to showcase the technologies to the farmers. The instructional farm is unique  in terms of live demonstration of Integrated Farming System Model.

 In view of the evolving mandate, the KVK emphasizes on vocational training to Technology Assessment and Demonstration for its Application and Capacity Development in Bareilly district.

Over the period of time the KVK, Bareilly also established good linkages with the line departments and started the activities in convergence mode with line departments for effective utilization of its resources for the benefit of farmers.
