Droughts, heat and cold waves are common across the world due to climate change. Their adverse impact on livelihood of farmers is tremendous. The present study attempt was made to know the Socio-personal and Economic, Psychological, and Communicational aspect of beneficiary farmers of KVK and non-beneficiaries in terms of climate resilient activities conducted by KVKs. The study was conducted in twos; of Datia and Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh. The information about characteristics of farmer was collected through personal interview schedule. This study be revealed that beneficiary respondents found superior than non-beneficiary respondent in case of level of education, occupation, attitudes, market orientation, perception, knowledge, participation and information seeking and sharing behaviour.
