Agricultural innovations and diffusion of new technologies are key drivers to achieve food security in the country besides providing farmers a competitive edge over traditional farming, thus facilitating better standards of living. In this context, cluster demonstrations is a novel approach to provide direct interface between scientists and farmers in planning, execution & monitoring phases of the demonstrations. Indian council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has launched Cluster Demonstrations Programme on pulse and oilseed crops in the year 2015-2016. The KVKs are the real carriers of frontline technologies and impart knowledge and critical input support for the famers. The present study was carried out with the aims to know the extent of scientific temperament of pulse growers towards cluster demonstration during 2017-18 in the 6 villages of Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. A total 120 pulse growers were selected randomly as respondents. The data collection was done by the use of interview schedule personal interview. The finding of the study depict that majority of the pulse growers (44.17 %) had low scientific temperament level and in practice wise scientific temperament the mean score was found highest in summer time of sowing (1.46) followed by use of improved variety of pulses.
