As the KVK has the mandate to provide technological back up to ongoing development programmes of line departments, the KVK organised more than 100 in-service trainings programmes of varying duration benefiting approx 730 extension functionaries. The KVK also organised some major vocational trainings of medium duration (two to six days) either independently or under line dept.

Such trainings covered horticulture, crop production, home science, farm forestry, extension etc. These trainings succeeded in not only empowering participants by way of gain in knowledge but also motivated some trainees to translate the knowledge into action as reflected in establishment of vermicompost units, practicing supplementary livestock feeding with green fodder and mineral mixture including better management practices and adopting fruit and vegetable preservation practices by women as a group activity. It has laid to creation of additional income generation avenues in the district.
