Krushi Vigyan Kendra

Over at 11/7-9 in Prakash Nagar, specifically in the Rajajinagar area, you’ll find our center. It’s a place where we spend a lot of time talking about dirt, seeds, and how to get things to grow better. It’s not a shop in the traditional sense, though we have plenty of things lying around. People come to us when they have problems with their plants or when they want to try a new way of farming. Rajajinagar is a busy part of the city, so having a spot dedicated to agriculture feels a bit different than the offices nearby. The building is a bit older, and the paint might be peeling in a few corners, but it’s comfortable. We have books and charts everywhere, and usually a few jars of soil samples sitting on the windowsills. We spend our days answering questions that don't always have easy answers. Sometimes a farmer comes in frustrated because his crop is failing, and we sit down and try to figure it out together. It’s a lot of listening and looking through microscopes. Prakash Nagar is a nice neighborhood, and we’ve become a bit of a staple here for anyone interested in the land. We don't put on airs or try to act like we know everything. We just share what we’ve learned over the years and hope it helps someone have a better season.
