The present investigation was conducted in ten Krishi Vigyan Kendras under the jurisdiction of Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (M.S.) to access the impact of front line demonstrations on the beneficiaries of Krishi Vigyan Kendras. The results of study revealed that FLDs have positive impact on the beneficiaries in respect of change in their cropping pattern, yield and productivity levels of crops and overall gain was always more. It was observed that FLD programme is an effective tool for increasing the productivity and yield of the crops. The demonstration also acts as source of information for other farmers. Cultivation created greater awareness and motivation to the other farmers to adopt the appropriate production technology. Therefore, it is suggested that every KVK should organize maximum number of FLDs and more coverage needs to be given to various categories of farming communities by following the ICAR norms.Keywords
