KVK : Mandate and Activities
The mandate of KVK is Technology Assessment and Demonstration for its Application and Capacity Development.
1.    On-farm testing to assess the location specificity of agricultural technologies under various farming systems.
2.    Frontline demonstrations to establish production potential of technologies on the farmers’ fields.
3.    Capacity development of farmers and extension personnel to update their knowledge and skills on modern agricultural technologies.
4.    To work as Knowledge and Resource Centre of agricultural technologies for supporting initiatives of public, private and voluntary sector in improving the agricultural economy of the district.
5.    Provide farm advisories using ICT and other media means on varied subjects of interest to farmers
            In addition, KVKs produce quality technological products (seed, planting material, bio-agents, livestock) and make it available to farmers, organize frontline extension activities, identify and document selected farm innovations and converge with ongoing schemes and programs within the mandate of KVK

OFT  1  Chickpea  (Assessment) (Varietal) (Rabi 2023-24)
1. Title: Assessment of suitable high yielding Chickpea Variety in Rabi season for Jamnagar District
2) Problem definition:
Chickpea crop is cultivated predominantly in Jamnagar district. The productivity of Chickpea, in Jamnagar is low due to low yield in existing variety, suffering from disease like wilt and stunt and high cost of production.Hence, an OFT was carried out with the objectives to find out suitable high yielding Chickpeavariety for Rabi season

  Three sprays of chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.002 % (1.08 ml/10 litre water) at 15 days interval starting from the pest infestation have been minimum whitefly population and highest yield. The PHI for chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, 0.002 % is one day. As per the cost benefit ratio and comparision of pest reduction and yield, application of Beauveria bassiana 1.15 WP (Min. 2 x 106 cfu/g) 0.007 % @ 60 g/10 litre of water, first spray at pest initiation and subsequent four spray should be given at 10 days interval after first spray having minimize the pest (whitefly) and good yield with decrease in input cost without harzardious effect.
Farmers have good response and they have support for OFT. Recommended practices having found incidence of whitefly where it is repeated use.  However, Intervention treatment is very effective treatment for the management of whitefly for organic grower and harzardless effect along with maximum yied.

4) Source of Technology:-  Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT, Hyderabad
5) Production System :
                Select six farm women randomly between age group of 30 to 50 years.  Checkup the hemoglobin level and calcium level at the pathological laboratory.  Among them select three farm women, who have hemoglobin level (12-15 g/dl) and calcium level (8.2 - 10.2 mg/dl) below reference interval.  The farm women below reference interval provided supplements as amla powder (5 gm/day) + drumstick leaf powder (5 gm/day) with daily menu (farmer practices) and after three months again observe their Hemoglobin level and Calcium level.  Record the pre and post treatment data for performance of the technology.
Results of On Farm Trials:           
Above table showed that all six farm women selected were found hemoglobin level and calcium level above the reference level.  Though above experiment was vitiated on those farm women and experiment was dropped out.
