Abstract

Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) are key units for technology transfer in a district. Managerial linkages of KVKs were measured on planning and review process, collaborative professional activities, resource allocation procedure and communication devices. The results of study reveal that programme coordinators had medium degree of managerial linkages with other KVKs. It is also observed that mostly programme coordinators maintained institutional linkages on collaborative professional activities and least on planning and review activities and resource allocation procedure of KVK.
