Our Story

Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Rura Mallu, Jalaun

Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Jalaun was established in 2005 at Govt. Agriculture Farm, Rura Mallu, PO Shahjadpura, Distt. Jalaun (UP). It operates under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and is currently linked to Banda University of Agriculture & Technology (BUAT), Banda.

Humble contribution is being made in organic farming, sustainable crop production, seed production, flower cultivation, spice cultivation, vegetable cultivation, fruit production and allied areas.
