Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. Agricultural growth plays an important role in achieving certain national goals, such as reducing rural poverty, providing food and nutritional security, supplying raw materials to major industries. The cornerstone of India's agricultural revolution has been the availability of improved varieties of cereals, oilseeds, and pulses etc., breeds of livestock including poultry and fisheries, horticultural plant materials, and improved management practice for increasing the productivity, sustainability and stability of various crops and livestock enterprises. Agriculture Technology management and Quality Improvement Center (ATMQIC) project was started to provide the facility of a ’single window’ approach. It was found that out of total respondents, 90 respondents (75.00%) had medium level of income generation, whereas 17 (14.17%) and 13 (10.83%) had high and low level of income generation, respectively. The income generation through crop production like mung, bajra, guar, barley, wheat, mustard, groundnut and cowpea crop was quite high. Similarly the technology given to the farmers through method demonstration and result demonstration might have also encouraged the farmers to increase income level of beneficiaries of ATMQIC. The income generation through Moong crop production got first rank among all crop production.
