Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bagalkot (KVK) conduct a variety of trainings for the benefit of farmers and rural youth of the district. Any KVK training programme starts with identification of training needs, the most important step in organization of any training programme.
Trainings provide an opportunity to the farmers to make aware of agricultural technologies as well as the shift in agricultural development approach through farming enterprises. Training of farmers encompass all the roles of a farmer instead of looking at him only as a producer. Hence, KVK conducts several training programmes both on campus and off campus every year to farmers, farm women and rural youth. The training programmes are planned so as to meet the immediate requirements of the farming community.
