As a Central Fodder Seed Production Agency, KVSSL plays a crucial role in advancing India’s self-reliance in livestock feed. By producing foundation and certified seeds, KVSSL supports the National Livestock Mission’s objectives. The organization cultivates a diverse range of fodder crop seeds, including maize, sorghum, pearl millet, oat, berseem, amaranth, guar, and lucerne. To date, over 583,412 cattle owners have benefited from these high-quality seeds, available at subsidized rates.

We are dedicated to the cultivation and distribution of certified seeds for oilseeds, pulses, cereals, nutri cereals, and millets. By addressing the food demand and supply gap, we contribute significantly to the National Food Security Mission, ensuring food security for every citizen across the country. Under the auspices of the Government of India, we also extend our reach beyond national borders.

This project aims to boost the cultivation of oilseeds and pulses in rice fallow areas by providing essential inputs such as seeds and biocides. It includes managing acidic soils and encouraging farmers to adopt pulses and oilseeds crops during the fallow period, thereby enhancing their secondary income. Implemented across five districts in Odisha—Sundargarh, Jajpur, Cuttack, Khurdha, and Puri—the project spans 44,200 hectares. It promotes innovative and best agricultural practices to maximize productivity and sustainability.

Dedicated to advancing organic farming, this project establishes demonstration farm labs in 25 clusters across Assam (10), Nagaland (5), and Tripura (10). Key initiatives include obtaining organic certification, providing training for master trainers and farmers, enhancing value addition, developing market linkages, and creating a comprehensive database. The project aims to benefit 2,500 farmers by promoting sustainable and scientific agricultural practices.

We are establishing an organic farming model cluster spanning 300 hectares in Berla Block, Bemetara District, under the PKVY scheme. This initiative involves forming organic production clusters, enhancing capacity through exposure visits and training, achieving PGS certification, and providing direct benefit transfers (DBT) for farmer incentives. The project also focuses on value addition, marketing, and publicity to support and promote sustainable organic farming practices.

This project aims to boost the primary production, value addition, and marketing of spices in the Jodhpur, Sikar, and Nagaur districts of Rajasthan. Key activities include forming and nurturing Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), training farmers, expanding spice and organic farming areas, creating water resources, and producing quality planting materials. The project also promotes integrated nutrient management (INM) and integrated pest management (IPM), mechanization, provision of critical inputs, and effective post-harvest management. Over 2,400 farmers across 1,200 hectares have benefited, experiencing significant increases in production and income. Value-added products like cumin and fenugreek powders are being developed, further enhancing the farmers’ profitability.

KVSSL actively supports the institutionalization of farmers, helping them access various benefits. Key interventions include:
