Cluster Frontline Demonstrations (CFLDs)

Cluster frontline demonstration is a unique approach by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research on Oilseed and Pulse crops to provide a direct interface between scientists and farmers where farmers are guided by the KVK scientists during demonstrations in implementation of improved technologies like seed treatment, IPM, INM, land preparation etc . Demonstrated fields are regularly monitored by the scientists. Cluster Frontline Demonstration project started since 2015-16 under NFSM and NMOOP.

Under ICAR-ATARI, Patna, there were 35 Numbers of KVKs included for Cluster Demonstrations. KVKs conducted Cluster frontline demonstration (FLDs) to demonstrate the production potential of newly released technologies on the farmer's fields at different location in a given farming system and organized farming and extension activities for farmer and extension workers for dissemination of various technologies.
