Agriculture is the mainstay of the India’s rural economy contributing significantly towards employment and income generation. The study was carried out at two IVLP centres namely; NDRI, Karnal representing Irrigated Agro Eco-system and IGFRI, Jhansi, representing Rainfed Agro Eco-system. A total of 150 farmers were randomly selected for the study. There was an increase of 15.18 and 25.26 percent in yield of PR and basmati rice, respectively, where as wheat yield has increased by 18.54 percent due to improved varieties. The average production of rice and wheat has significantly increased by 15.02 and 17.80 percent respectively under the irrigated agro-eco-system. Due to increase in the price of inputs, an increase of 73.24 percent and 70.67 percent in cost of cultivation of paddy and wheat respectively was recorded in the IVLP villages. The average yield gain was 1.55 q/acre due to zero tillage technology. The average cost saving was Rs. 878 per acre under zero tillage. The supply of quality seeds of improved varieties has assured 239.09, 122.52 and 92 percent increase in gram, barley and wheat production, respectively. An increase of 20.04 percent in gram and 56.59 percent in wheat cultivation was found in the IVLP villages
