This 'Krishi Vigyan Kendra' (Farm Science Centre) was established in January, 1995. During the last 11 years, farmers of this district have derived a lot of benefit from the services it has rendered. But India is an ancient country. It is one of the countries of the world that developed agriculture as a science, but throughout its long history Indian Agriculture has remained the bedrock of India's total rural culture. We have a global market now. Production for the market is a new science. That science this centre has been supplying in the form of improved seeds and other practices. But. a healthy synthesis between India's ancient wisdom and modern science of agriculture, revolving round Indian Economy, has yet to evolve. It's a time-taking process. But that now is this centre's main objective. Eastern India in which is centre is situated is rich in traditions of agricultural practices. So the centre is now busy fulfilling the said purpose. It is learning as well as teaching and training. We do hope the combination of ancient wisdom and modern science will produce a new pattern of Indian agriculture in due course. In that attempt the present Programme Coordinator Dr. Raj Narain SIngh and his team of 06 scientists, guided by the Zonal Coordinator, Dr. A.K. Singh, are now engaged. I wish them all success
