Online published on 28 March, 2024. Abstract Educating Kisan Mela attendees about new technology created by researchers mostly from government agricultural and allied research centers, state agricultural colleges, and some private sector institutions is the main goal of organizing such events. Purposefully carried out during the Kisan Mela, the current study aimed to find out how satisfied respondents were with the venue's location, stall orientation, arrangements for livestock, availability of high-quality seeds, information about new crop varieties, pesticide and insecticide information, and the overall experience of Kisan Mela for attendees. Based on a three-point continuum, the level of satisfaction was determined. The scores for most satisfied, satisfied, and not satisfied were 3, 2, and 1, respectively. The weighted mean score overall was determined, and a rating was completed. Most of the respondents indicated most content with the research area, namely, venue location, orientation of distinct stall, a system for drinking water, accommodations for animals to dwell in, the planning of an animal display, the accessibility of high-quality seeds, and details about novel crop strains, details on insecticides and pesticides, and the overall impact of farmer's fair. The vast majority of respondents claimed they couldn't afford acquiring knowledge about agriculture. There is a large gap between the amount of knowledge that is produced about agriculture and the amount of knowledge that farmers actually use. Kisan Melas are held to educate farmers about new technologies and products, such as hybrid seeds, fertilizers, tractors, banking services, mineral mixtures, medicines, and dairy utensils. A lot of effort goes into organizing Kisan Melas, and it is important to ensure that the farmers who attend are satisfied with the event so that they can benefit from the information that is being shared.This study was conducted to assess the level of satisfaction of farmers who attended a Kisan Mela.
