Performance Evaluation of Kvks: A Study in Uttarakhand

Since the establishment of the first KVK at Pondicherry in 1974 the number of KVKs has grown to 642 plus. Studies have indicated limited success of KVKs in terms of impact on the intended beneficiaries. As the number of KVKs continues to grow the quality of performance becomes the prime concern to understand factors which contribute to the success or failure of KVKs. The study findings will be useful to the extension administrators planners extension personnel and others who are involved directly or indirectly in the transfer of technology. Also it will be an excellent source for the extension students as reference material since very few studies are available on performance evaluation of KVKs.
