AAU-KVK, Chirang
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.

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 gardenØ Training on cultivation practices and providing seeds
and fertilizers of biofortified cauliflower
varieties Carotena and Valentena
under OFT programmeØ 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 trainingAnnual

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,
breed selection, goat breed up gradation, green fodder production, concentrated
feed production, disease management and market linkage.•
He initially
started slatted floor goat rearing shed with 10 female local goats and 5
castrated goats.•
In the beginning he sold out the castrated
male goats for meat purpose. Gradually he started producing crossbred beetal
kids using Beetal buck which was provided by KVK under FLD programme.•
Male goat for
breeding purpose are being sold for Rs.
12000/- at 4 month of age and Rs.
10000/- for female from his farm.•
At present he is maintaining around 60 adult
goats & 50 kids in the farm.•
He is getting an
annual income of Rs. 7,87,500 from the sale of 50 goats (9 months age) at an
average weight of 10-12 Kg. He is selling FYM to other farmers also.•
KVK identified this goat farm as a model
slatted floor goat rearing unit for KVK technical programmes.•
He started mixed
fodder cultivation practices like Hybrid Napier, Fodder Sorghum, Rina grass,
African tall maize for feeding goats and supplying seed and slips to other
farmers.
•
He established
Mini Concentrate Feed preparation unit and also mineral blocks at farm level to
reduce feed cost.
