Lesson 46:District Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Centers
Initiation
The basic concept behind establishment of District Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Center (DAATTC) is that, every research scientist should also be an extension worker, when it is a question of serving the farmers and working in active association and close cooperation of farmers. The farmers-scientist interaction which takes place frequently has brought high degree of confidence among farmers. In order to reinforce and strengthen this mode of working, the extension wing is reorganized by positioning the scientists at the district head quarters and operate in cooperation in and coordination with all the line departments of Govt. A.P and locating the office in Agricultural Marketing Committee (AMC) of each district., with a multidisciplinary team of Four scientists of Agriculture, animal Husbandry and Home Science disciplines. District Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Centers were started in 1998at all the 22 district head quarters in the state of Andhra Pradesh by Acharya N.G. Ranga Agriculture University.
