What is HVK?
Haryana Vikas Kendra (HVK) is a training and extension institute established by the Government of Haryana to promote integrated rural development. It functions as a resource centre for skill development, capacity building, and awareness generation among rural communities, particularly farmers, women self-help groups, and youth. HVK conducts hands-on training sessions in modern agricultural techniques, livestock management, health and sanitation, and entrepreneurship. It also serves as a link between government schemes and grassroots beneficiaries, ensuring effective implementation of programs like the National Rural Livelihood Mission. HVK centres are located across several districts in Haryana and are often used for organising camps, workshops, and demonstration plots. The institute collaborates with state agriculture universities and KVKs to disseminate scientific farming practices. For competitive exams like Haryana Civil Services or Haryana CET, familiarity with HVK highlights the state’s commitment to rural empowerment and decentralised planning. The acronym is frequently seen in government reports and rural development literature.
