India has made considerable  progress  in improving its food security. The agricultural development strategy pursued in the country, particularly since the mid-sixties, is recognized and appreciaed world over. The integration of agricultural research with quality education and a properly planned extension education system has been one of the fundamental foundations of this developmental strategy, which also led to revolutions in many other sectors of agriculture and allied enterprises. As a part of this strategy, several programmes of transfer of technology from research stations to farmers’ fields were launched in the country. These included National Demonstration Project, Lab to Land Programme, Operational Research Project and Krishi Vigyan Kendras (Farm Science Centres). The programmes were continuously reviewed from time to time and reformulated for their effectiveness. Presently the Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) have been recognized as an effective link between agricultural research and extension system in the country. Smt. Lakshmi Devi Krishi Vigyan Kendra was started on 11^th October 2010 as second KVK in Anantapur district. About 40% (6.77 lakh ha) of the total cultivated area (16.74 lakh ha) of Anantapur district is under the jurisdiction of Smt. Lakshmi Devi Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Kalyandurg, shared by 31 revenue mandals where its activities are rendered.
