Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Utukur, Kadapa operates under the administrative authority of Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) and ICAR-ATARI Zone-X. Positioned in YSR Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, KVK functions as an agricultural extension and farm science hub. Under the NABARD project 'Rejuvenating the Millet Business Incubation Center and Demonstration of Extruder Technology', the Research Assistant-I is responsible for operationalizing millet processing units, conducting value-addition demonstrations, assisting farmers and self-help groups (SHGs) with extruder processing machinery, maintaining incubation lab records, and coordinating extension outreach.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The post is purely temporary and contractual for an initial tenure of 11 months or until the closure of the NABARD project, whichever is earlier. Station of posting is Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Utukur, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh. The position offers a fixed consolidated salary of ₹20,000/- per month without HRA, DA, or medical reimbursements. The engagement does not confer any right to regular appointment or permanent absorption in ANGRAU or NABARD.

Career & Promotion Ladder

However, operational experience in a NABARD-funded food technology and millet incubation center provides excellent hands-on credentials for pursuing Ph.D. programs, ICAR/ARS examinations, food safety officer (FSO) recruitments, or technical officer positions in agricultural research stations across India.
