The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Bellampalli, located in Mancherial District, Telangana, serves as a crucial agricultural support center, offering training, technology, and resources to farmers, acting as a bridge between research and practical farming, often organizing events like Kisan Melas and training on modern techniques (like IPDM) under Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (PJTSAU) and ICAR. It's part of a network of KVKs under ICAR, focusing on farm extension and development in its region.
On March 18, 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Bellampalli Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) via satellite. Functioning under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Professor Jayashankar State Agricultural University, the KVK serves farmers across two districts. With the construction of a dedicated building costing ₹2 crore, its scope of services is expected to expand significantly.
The Bellampalli Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) is assisting farmers who are facing losses with traditional farming methods to achieve higher yields through modern agricultural practices. It is providing new technological knowledge and showcasing employment opportunities in the agricultural sector. By establishing demonstration fields, it is bringing new research closer to the farmers.
The KVK is earning the appreciation of farmers in Mancherial and Kumuram Bheem Asifabad districts through its distinctive programs and innovative services. It provides advice and guidance to farmers in agriculture, horticulture, and allied sectors such as dairy, poultry, sericulture, beekeeping, and fisheries. Farmers are achieving excellent results by adopting new technological methods and improved management practices. In recognition of their research, the scientists here have received international and national awards, while farmers who followed their advice and suggestions have received state-level awards. The Bellampalli KVK is playing a crucial role in supporting farmers and contributing to the economic development of both districts.
