Cluster front line demonstration on Bengal gram was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramagirikhilla, in four villages during the last two years (2016-17 to 2017-18). The results showed 28.5 to 46.15 percent yield increase in FLDs over farmers practice during2016-17 to 2017-2018. The extension gap and technology gap were 3.6 q/ha and 11.25q/ha respectively. Therefore, front line demonstration programme was an effective tool for increasing the productivity of Bengal gram and changing knowledge, attitude and skill of farmers. This created greater awareness and motivated the other farmers to adopt improved practices of Bengal gram.
