Technology Transfer

Twenty seven KVKs, distance education programmes, production and distribution of farm literature etc. contribute significantly in developing transfer technology models for futherance of technology transfer to the farming community of the state. The University has also made satisfactory impact on technology transfer through demonstrations, on-farm field-testing and mass communication media. The University has so far trained 1,00,422 farmers, 25,061 farmwomen, 23,540 rural youths and 22,604 extension personnel on various fields of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and pisciculture through KVKs.

Regional Research Technology Transfer Stations:   (Agroclimatic Zone-wise)

At present there are 8 Regional Research Stations and 4 Sub-Stations operating in 10 Agroclimatic zones of Orissa . The Regional Research Station is headed by an Associate Director of Research along with a team of scientists.

 Adaptive Research Stations

 The Research findings of the Regional Research Sta­tions/Sub-Stations are further tried in the 13 Adaptive Research Stations located one in each of the undivided revenue districts of the State in collaboration with department’ of Agriculture, Govt. of Orissa to find out their adaptability to actual farming situations.

The research information generated in various aspects by the Regional Research Stations and Sub-stations are validated through adaptive trials, front-line demonstration and put to extension system of the university to develop extension education models for transfer of technology befitting to the situation and farming community of the state. By now, the research organization has fulfilled the needs and aspiration of the people on allied fields to a  considerable extent and helped in increasing the production and productivity thereby increasing income and ultimately resulting in socio-economic changes of the farming community.
