8. SWOT analysis of Ramakrishna Mission – KVK-Ranchi
Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra - A residential training centre for tribal
and rural youth in agriculture and its related activities.
It was started in 1969 under the name Divyayan but established in
1927
In 1977 Divyayan was recognized by ICAR to establish and run a Krishi
Vigyan Kendra

9. Weakness:-
• Ramakrishna Mission Ashram receives weekly Agro advisory from ZRS
Ranchi but it not being forwarded to farmers.
• It dependents on ICAR for funds to carry out research programs.
• Feedback mechanism can be improved.
• Needs to work with close collaboration with ATMA centre and other
NGOs operational in the area.
• Works only in Angara Block of CCKNIA
