Three KVKs were selected for comparison based on administrative control: Fatehpur-Shekhawati (SAU), Bansur (ICAR), and Chomu (NGO). A total of 125 respondents (50 technical staff and 75 beneficiaries) were surveyed. Data revealed that the highest-ranked suggestions from staff included immediate filling of vacant posts and strengthening infrastructure (MPS = 80.00) career advancement (77.33) and vehicle facilities (76.66). Beneficiaries emphasized organizing more off-campus training (MPS = 97.77), separate training for farm women (96.88) and promotion of skill-based/self-employment training (95.55). These findings indicate a strong demand for localized, inclusive, and capacity-building interventions. The study offers evidence-based recommendations for strengthening the impact and efficiency of KVK initiatives.</jats:p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Meena, Jitendra Kumar and Joshi, Madhuri and Kumar, Lokesh and Tanwar, Nitesh Kumar}, year={2024}, pages={199–202} }
