Govt Krishi Vigyan Kendra Karad (KVK Karad) Jobs 2024 - Sarkari Naukri

The Education Commission (1964-66) recommended that a vigorous effort should be made to establish specialized institutions to provide vocational education in agriculture and allied fields at the pre-and post-matriculate levels to cater to the training needs of a large number of boys and girls coming from rural areas. The commission, further, suggested that such institutions be named as ‘Agricultural Polytechnics’. The recommendation of the commission was thoroughly discussed: during 1966-72 by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture, Planning Commission, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and other allied institutions. Finally, the ICAR mooted the idea of establishing Krushi Vigyan Kendra’s (Agricultural Science Centre’s) as innovative institutions for imparting vocational training to the practicing farmers, school dropouts and field level extension functionaries.

At present there are 672 KVK’s out of which 435 are under State Agricultural universities (SAU) and Central Agricultural University (CAU), 55 under ICAR Institutions, 100 under NGO’s, 35 under State Governments, and the remaining 17 under other educational institutions.
