Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth (DBSKKV), Admission Alert 2018

 

The Konkan region, in spite of being a generous gift of natural resources, has by & large remained under developed. This led to the peculiar social problem of migration of able bodied & talented men to nearby areas like Mumbai & Pune in search of employment, leaving behind old men, women & children to look after agriculture in traditional way following the most primitive methods of cultivation. The Konkan region is distinguished from the rest of Maharashtra State by virtue of its distinct agro climatic conditions, soil types, topography, its location between the Sahyadri ranges & the Arabian Sea, crops & cropping pattern, land holdings & socio economic conditions of the farmers. As such, the problems in agriculture & allied sectors are also entirely different from the other parts of Maharashtra. Due to this uniqueness, the Government of Maharashtra established the Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth on the 18th May 1972 to impart education, conduct research on location specific problems & disseminate the improved crop production technologies amongst the farming community. The university was renamed as Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli on 12th February 2001.
