The study aimed at assessing the impact of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production under Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) in terms of yield, extension gap, technological gap and economic gains in Chandel district, Manipur during Rabi season of 2018-19 to 2021-22. The present cluster front line demonstration was carried out by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Chandel, ICAR-Manipur Centre at different villages in 50 hectares. The result indicated that average seed yield of lentil in demonstration practices ranged between 9.20 to 10.25q/ha whereas in Farmers practices, it was 6.85 to 7.28 q/ha during demonstrated years. The per cent increased in yield with demonstration Practices over Farmers’ Practices was ranged between 33.43to 40.79. The technological and extension gap were from 7.75 to 8.80 and from 2.35 to 2.97 q/ha respectively. Similarly, technological index were decreased from 48.89 to 43.06 per cent during the study period. The benefit cost ratio was 2.58 to 2.88 under demonstration, while it was 1.87 to 2.10 under farmer practices. By conducting cluster front line demonstration on improved practices with HYV of proven technologies in farmers’ field, yield potential of lentil enhanced to a great extent which increased in cropping intensity, the income level of farmers and improved livelihood of farming community in the region by reducing the technology gaps.
