           The first KVK, on a pilot basis, was established in 1974 at Pondicherry under the administrative control of the Tamil Nadu Agriculture University, Coimbatore. At present there are more than 610 KVKs established in the country.

           KVK project was started with an object of delivering latest agricultural technology to the farmers. The main object of this project is to deliver the latest technical knowledge to the farmers and it is based on the law of learning through observing work experience and by doing itself.

           Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Durg was sanctioned vide letter no. 3-2/E/KVK/Dt.01/05/1992 and established in October, 1993, under Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur.
