Address: Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Pentok Mangan North Sikkim, Sikkim

Mandate of KVK :
  To impart vocational training to the farmers, rural youths and field functionaries/ extension workers. Accordingly in the proposal it was recommended to have one Krishi Vigyan Kendra in every district of Indian Union for effective transfer of technology developed in the laboratory for the field application at farmers’ level.
   The concept of vocational training in agriculture through K.V.K. grew substantially due to greater demand for improved agricultural technology by the farmers.
   They not only required knowledge and understanding of the intricacy of technologies, but also progressively more and more skills in various complex agricultural operations for adoption on their farms.
   The effectiveness of the K.V.K was further enhanced by adding the activities related to On-farm Testing and Front Line Demonstration on major agricultural technologies in order to make the training of farmers location specific, need based and resource –oriented.
