The cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on groundnut were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Junagadh Agricultural University, Jamnagar (Gujarat) during kharif season from 2016-17 to 2018-19 on 150farmer’s field of different villages of Jamnagar district. The results revealed that the average higher pod (21.1 q/ha) and haulm (40.21 q/ha) yield of groundnut were recorded in CFLDs as compared to farmer’s practices (FP) average pod (17.5 q/ha) and haulm (37.85 q/ha) yield. The increase in the demonstrations pod yield over FP was 20.35 %. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 3.6 q/ha, 6.16 q/ha and 22.60 % respectively. The average gross return (Rs. 110879/ha) and net return (Rs. 66207/ha) in CFLDs were found higher than the FP gross return (Rs. 93844/ha) and net return (Rs. 43334/ha). The average net returns 52.21 % higher than that of FP. The B: C ratio exhibited the same trend as in gross and net return which was found 2.49 in CFLDs and 1.86in FP. By conducting cluster frontline demonstrations of improved variety with intervention practices of proven technologies in farmer’s field, groundnut productivity enhanced to a great extent which increased in the income level of farmers and improved livelihood of farming community.
