Carved out of Rohtak district on 15 July 1997 and with its headquarters in Jhajjar, it lies 29 kilometres (18 mi) from Delhi and had developed into an important industrial center. Other towns in the district are Bahadurgarh and Beri. Total geographical area of the districtis 1834 sq.km. Administratively, the district is controlled by Rohtak division. It is divided into three tehsils namely Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh & Beri, and subdivided into 5 development blocks namely Jhajjar Beri, Bahadurgarh, Matenhail and Salahwas. The district area falls in Yamuna sub-basin of Ganga basin, and is mainly drained by the artificial drain No.8 flows from north to south. Jawahar Lal Nehru feeder and Bhalaut sub Branch are main canals of the district. Area under Canal irrigation is about 690 sq. km. in the district. The CGWB has carried out ground water exploration besides other hydro geological and geophysical studies in the district. Jhajjar district is undergoing a tremendous level of shift from farm to non-farm economy at least in one third of its area, especially one which is adjoining Nazafgarh, Bahadurgarh and Gurgaon. A big chunk area has been taken up for Special Economic Zone and there are string of institutions coming in addition to large network of roads. This kind of projections combined with huge number of change of land-use into brick-kiln for last twenty years in the district, calls for a forward-looking approach in bringing issue of long-range planning for utilization of natural resources, human resources and industrial resources in such a manner that the transition from agrarian to industrial-service sector economy in at least one-third of district remains sustainable for not only economical but ecological and cultural aspects too. For other parts of district, issues of ‘resource conservation’ is so much important and selection of right kind of crops and/or enterprises is need of the day. Particularly, waterlogging has caused havocs to the soils as the typical surface of the land in the district promotes such decline of land. Introduction of micro-drainage technologies in various villages were resisted along with micro- irrigation systems did not penetrate properly in the district. The KVK adopted a ‘Development Block’ based ‘extension strategy’. In each block, it went on to select a village, which has been adopted by it so as the village represents the particular ecological-economic realities of the block. Now this approach has been converted into cluster approach in which surrounding villages around each of 5 adopted villages from amongst 5 of development blocks of the district, were also considered while implementing the programmes/activities of KVK Jhajjar. Now, a compact human resource management strategy between KVK scientists, village/community leaders and adopted villages, in general has been put ‘formally’ on ‘record’ by the KVK. It is with great pride we report that the farmers and entrepreneurs of the district with the direct help of the KVK under its revamped strategy, have brought laurels at national and state levels. The revamped ‘Thrusts/Priorities’ for the district provided clear direction which is reflected into the present report. 3 4 During the period under report the major thrust was on Farm and Non-Farm Micro Enterprise Development. Case Study No 1 reflects the major thrust areas of KVK i.e Micro-Enterprise Development as Non Farm based enterprise by innovative strategy of Convergence of Services. which describes KVK –Aajeevika Mission linkage through SHGs and Value Addition in Apparrel Designing and Rural Handicrafts which reflects the impact of these enterprises.and (ANNEXURE-I) .Case study No. 2 describes the success story of Dairy farmers by Marketing of Milk and Milk products as large scale adoption and the Innovative Farmer who has done innovative work by getting involved in dairy enterprise. .(ANNEXURE-II). Through the approach of engaging ‘all departments and agencies of the government and its semi- government outfits’, the KVK went on to organize programmes aimed at providing ‘coordinating mechanism’ for all ‘development department and agencies and other players such as NABARD, PNB R-Seti, HSRLM etc. This ‘coordinating mechanism’ is also developed as an ‘innovative model’ of Home-Enterprises by the KVK. so as the ‘bridge’ the gap between SHGs, micro-, home, small- and large enterprises, is made possible for mutual gain. This approach is expected to provide much required innovation in ‘service delivery efficiency’. The KVK also got feathers in its cap when it got recognition and appreciation at national platforms i.e. IITF 2015, New Delhi. Two Innovative Farmers viz; Sh. Shiv Raj Yadav from village Khedi Khummar received Innovative Farmer Award in Kisan Mela at CCS, HAU ,Hisar and Mrs Sumitra from village Jahangirpur was awarded on the occasion of Kisan Diwas by Vice Chancellor,CCS HAU Hisar. This report though is a collective effort of entire team of scientists, who worked at various segments of the year under Report, but Dr. Shashi Vashisht, PES (Home Science), Dr. U.K.Sharma Sr ES(FM), Dr. B.P.Rana Sr ES(Nematology) and Dr Suman Malik owe special appreciation for editing and compilation of this document. Liberal support of Indian Council of Agricultural Research in funds and various kind of guidance deserves special importance. Timely advice therefore from the office of Zonal Coordinator, has all that facilitated the KVK blooming. Special support and guidance of the authorities of the university, especially the Directorate of Extension Education remain essential for the KVK so as to let it reach at its expected level of excellence, in times to come.

Mandates of the KVK • To conduct “on-farm testing” for identifying technologies in terms of location specific sustainable land use systems • To update the extension personnel within the area of operation, with emerging advances in agricultural research on regular basis. • To organize long term vocational courses in agriculture and allied disciplines, with emphasis on learning by doing to generate self employment through institutional financing. • To organize frontline demonstrations on various crops to generate production data and feed back mechanism. 5 6 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT 2015-16 1.
