On an average this KVK conducts 225 to 250 need- based training programs in a year for farmers, farmwomen, rural youth and extension personal. 40-50% of them are long duration trainings.

More emphasis is given on long duration practical, self employment oriented trainings for school dropouts & unemployed rural youth.

Many participants on completion of the training have been successfully self employed by way of establishing their own units. Efforts are made to empower the women technically, as they play very vital role in agricultural operations. Farmer's groups may approach the KVK for customized trainings.
