With the inception of Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at Bikaner in 2010, the Directorate of Extension Education emerged as the pivotal unit for planning, organizing, and overseeing all extension activities undertaken by the University, in close collaboration with the various units/departments/centres of its constituent colleges.

The Directorate directly administers one Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) under ICAR located in Nohar (Hanumangarh) and nine Pashu Vigyan Kendras under state plan located in different districts of Rajasthan namely Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner, Churu, Jodhpur, Pali, Jalore, Sirohi, Chittorgarh and Dungarpur. These PVKs and KVK offer training and technology transfer to farmers, rural youth, and field functionaries.

Under the aegis of Directorate of Extension Education, the work of the field extension is mainly carried out through University’s colleges, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Pashu Vigyan Kendra’s and Advance Research Centres sanctioned under State plan. The Directorate of Extension Education collaborates with Department of Agriculture, Department of Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Technology Management Agency, ICAR and other extension education agencies.

The main aim of Directorate is to transfer the well proven tested technologies to the farmers, livestock owners, rural youth, extension functionaries of State Government and other personnel engaged in developmental and professional activities in the field of animal husbandry and allied areas through its well planned, skill-oriented and need based programmes. The Directorate acts as bridge between the research scientists and the farmers and other stakeholders who are involved in extension activities. It also involves organization of animal treatment & infertility treatment camps, farmers training, exhibition, farmers- scientist interaction, front-line demonstration etc. For strengthening the extension activities, various programmes are being implemented through projects sponsored from the agencies like ICAR, RKVY, ATMA and other government and non-government organizations. The Directorate is also publishing literature on different disciplines of veterinary and allied sciences.
