Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) - Chirang is an innovative science based organization at the district level established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) after recommendation of Mehta Committee (1973) with an objective of technology dissemination to the farmer’s fields without any transmission loss. The KVKs have been charged to take up the responsibilities of technology evaluation and impact assessment, demonstration of field technology on the farmer’s field, organizing training courses for the extension workers to update their knowledge level and skill training for the farmers including farm woman as well as rural youth. Objective of KVK - Chirang To demonstrate the improved technology to the farmers as well as to the extension agencies directly in the farmers field with their active participation.To identify the area specific problems of the farmers and prioritization of the identified problems as per their importance. To collect feed back from the farmers and extension agencies and to provide linkages with the scientists for the modification or refinement of the technology. To impart training to farmers, rural youths and extension functionaries for capacity building.To provide new and important information on agriculture and allied sectors to the extension agencies or NGOs for wider circulation to improve their economic condition.
Chirang is one of the major districts of Assam situated at the Northern part of Brahmaputra River under lower Brahmaputra valley zone of Assam. The district is situated in North-West side of Assam surrounded by international boundary of Bhutan in North, Bongaigaon district and a little portion of Kokrajhar district in South, Kokrajhar district in West and Baksa district in East. The geographical area of the district is 1923 sq. km. The district is located between 26.580 N longitude and 90.610 E latitudes. Rivers like Champawati, Aie and Manash are flowing through the district from North originating in Bhutan to the South and join the mighty river Brahmaputra. Besides many tributaries small rivulets and streams are flowing in the districts.

During 2019
she learnt about KVK Chirang from her neighbor woman who was the successful
grower of mushroom cultivation and accordingly visited KVK office. When she
interacted with KVK scientist, as per her interest on sericulture, scientist
told the story about “The art of eri rearing, spinning, weaving is introduced
by Bodo people in india . She was pleased and thought that she had stepped in
the right place which will help her with low land. In due course of time she
attended a number of training programmes
on sericulture conducted by KVK. Then She started eri rearing activity by traditional way with 100 gm of eri seed
Ø Since
sericulture activities were not new to her therefore she started his eri
rearing activity with 100 gm of Eri eggs. And later on other technical support
was extended by KVK and department of sericulture.
Ø Availability
of eri food plant leads to year round cocoon production and hence castor,
kesseru and tapioca plantation encouraged in farmer’s field by providing
training on cultivation practices and providing of eri egg and mosquito net for
proper scientific rearing under OFT and FLD programme
Ø Total income from Eri rearing Rs. 151000/-per yr
and Net income Rs. 121000/-.
Ø Reduction
of cost : Rs.45,000/- (Purchasing of food plant and eri egg is reduced)
Eri seed
production, establishment of eri spinning and weaving centrewoman can make self
dependent by adopting sericulture is a part time agri-business.

Since
2010, Mrs Mushahary used to cultivate
field crops like rice, toria, potato etc in her field. She cultivated
traditional vegetables in a small area. No scientific
technology and good quality seeds were practiced in her field. She used to get annual
income of about Rs 90,000.00 from field and other components. Although
gradually she had diverted her mind to go for
commercial vegetable cultivation, she faced problems like non
availability of improved vegetable seed and poor technical
knowledge. During 2019-20, she came to
visit KVK, Chirang in search of potato seeds and thereby came to know about
different high yielding varieties of vegetables and their improved cultivation
technology from the scientists. She was very happy and interested to try it by
herself.
Ø Skill training on scientific nursery raising of rabi
vegetables helping her to produce early and disease free vegetable seedlings
through which she is earning a good money.
Ø Demonstration on establishment of nutritional garden
though input distribution including seeds, vermicompost, net etc. led her to
systematic cultivation of a traditional kitchen garden
Ø Training on cultivation practices and providing seeds
and fertilizers of biofortified cauliflower
varieties Carotena and Valentena
under OFT programme
Ø Demonstration
on high yielding IIHR varieties like Arka Abhed tomato variety, Arka Sukomal frenchbean
variety etc. from which she is getting good price in market.
Ø Technical guidance on planting material generation of
areacanut, assam lemon etc.
Ø Technical guidance on value addition to local fruits
and vegetables through skill training
Annual
Turn over: Total income
of Mrs Mushahary from her field is about
Rs. 2,50,000/-per year which is 66% higher than initial income. She is
recognized and awarded by District Administration also for her outstanding
contribution towards farming. She has not only established herself with a good
name but also become a role model to other rural women.

•
Mr. Jwngshat Basumatary after matriculation choosed
goat rearing as income generating activity.
•
The annual income
of his family was around Rs. 2 lakhs which did not meet the family expenses.
•
He came to know that the slatted housed
scientific goat rearing is a beneficial enterprise.
•
Now he rears a
herd of 110 goats at his individual efforts
•
Goat rearing is
one of the important aspects in dry land farming system. In rural areas open
grazing is a common practice for rearing of goat flocks.
•
Due to the
reduction in open grazing there is a need to search another alternate option
i.e. stall feeding or slatted floor goat rearing method.
•
Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Chirang conducted
training programme on slatted floor goat rearing during 2019. He attended the
training programme and came to know about slatted floor shed construction,
