The agricultural development is backbone of rural development that is possible through strong interventions of transfer of agricultural technologies imparting both extension personnel and farmers as well. The most of the farmers visited KVK for seeking the technical knowledge related to field crops (1458, rank I) this was prominently depends upon the cropping pattern (soybean-wheat/gram) of the district followed by horticultural crops. The maximum footfall was made by farmers in the year 2020 (807, rank I), the productivity of major crops get enhanced during study period like Wheat by 500 kg/ha, Chickpea by 869 kg/ha, Soybean by 100 kg/ha, Pigeonpea by 665 kg/ ha and Summer greengram by 325 kg/ha respectively. Hence it my briefed that farmer’s footfall at KVK and its technical intervention had positive vertical impact on the profitability and productivity of growing crops in the Harda district of Madhya Pradesh.
