Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Papum Pare is located at Karsingsa along National Highway 52A, between Banderdewa—the entry point to Arunachal Pradesh—and Itanagar, the state capital. Spread across about 20 hectares, the campus is well-defined and secured with a boundary wall, creating a dedicated space for agricultural learning, research, and outreach activities.
The Kendra has basic yet functional infrastructure, including a centrally located administrative building and demonstration units for horticulture, poultry, and fodder. It also maintains field plots where different farming techniques and technologies are tested under real conditions. These setups help farmers see practical applications and better understand improved methods of cultivation and livestock management.
Even with limited resources, KVK Papum Pare continues to work closely with farmers through a community-driven approach. It actively engages farmer groups, understands their needs through Training Needs Assessment (TNA), and provides solutions that are practical and relevant to local conditions.
Through regular training programmes, field demonstrations, and exposure visits, the Kendra helps farmers learn and adopt modern agricultural practices. Its efforts are focused on improving productivity, building skills, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for the farming community in the region.
The Kendra also serves as an important knowledge and support centre for farmers by providing timely advisory services related to crop production, livestock management, and climate-resilient agricultural practices. By maintaining close coordination with line departments and research institutions, KVK Papum Pare ensures that relevant and updated technologies reach farmers effectively, thereby contributing to the overall development of the agricultural sector in the region.
The Kendra had developed its own Decision Support system in Agri-Allied Sectors of the district in the year 2010.
