Abstract
Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK) are district level agricultural research centres that facilitate the rapid transfer of new technologies to agricultural fields. KVKs are well known for playing a significant role in rural development in terms of improving the social, economic, and cultural wellbeing of rural residents, among other things. Krishi Vigyan Kendra was initially founded to provide training to the many farming community stakeholders. As the years passed, this grassroots organisation underwent a significant transformation, beginning with the generation, testing, and verification of technology before ultimately transmitting it to the end users for the improvement of productivity in particular and for the overall socio-economic development of the rural people in general with its mandated programmes. The study was carried out in Uttarkashi districtand 96 respondents were selected using the PPS (Probability Proportional to Size) method. For the study descriptive research design was used. The results showed that nearly half of the respondents were in the middle age group, had a secondary education, the majority of them have medium level of farm experience, and had medium social participation. Results shows that farming experience and Social Participation had a positive significant relationship with the attitude of farmers towards KVK services. Regarding attitude, it was discovered that the majority of farmers had a neutral attitude toward the extension services provided by KVK Chinyalisaur.
