A study was conducted for two years during 2014-15 and 2015-16 involving 30 and 15 farmers at Tumkur and Ramanagara districts, respectively. The improved finger millet variety KMR-301 and KMR-204 were used to demonstrate the improved production technology on finger millet in the farmer's field. The data revealed that during 2014 by the introduction of new technology the grain yield was increased by 36 per cent over farmers practice and during 2015, at Ramanagara district the yield improvement was to the tune of 16 per cent.
