The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) is a district level innovative science based institutional model established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi for agricultural technology assessment, refinement, and demonstration for its application and capacity development through, training of farmers, rural youth and extension personnel for upliftment of socio-economic condition of entire farming community of the district through scientific intervention in Agriculture and allied sectors. In true sense KVK is the gateway for transfer of technology from laboratory to the farmer’s field. It works with collaborative participation of scientists, extension personnel and farmers. The KVK, Baksa is under the administrative control of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat which was established in 2014. Since inception of the institute in an around 250 villages have been covered for dissemination of various technologies through Capacity building , On-Farm Testing (OFT), Frontline demonstrations (FLD) and other flagship programmes, Govt, of India. Presently KVK, Baksa is situated at Kharua village of Baksa district.
