Abstract

The study was carried out in Bundelkhand, focusing on two purposively selected Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs): Hamirpur, under the authority of BUAT, Banda (U.P.) and Datia, under the authority of RVSKVV, Gwalier (M.P.). A simple random sampling was used to reach 120 farmers in 12 villages which were served by both of the KVKs. The results showed that most beneficiaries belonged to the middle-age group, had education up to higher secondary, medium-sized families, marginal landholdings, and displayed moderate levels of media exposure, extension contact, and social participation. In terms of effectiveness, the respondents expressed favourable perceptions regarding various aspects. Education, gender, annual income, training and risk orientation were some of the important factors which positively affect the perception of farmers towards KVK’s performance. Overall, the perception of KVK effectiveness was moderate, with 41.67% of farmers falling in the medium category.
