Lesson 18 : Role of Local Bodies, Organizations and Extension Agencies in Programme Execution

Commercial Establishments

In Indian society, it is a general habit of the farmers to depend a lot on local dealers. They obtain information and advice from the local dealers on farming practices and other allied areas. Hence, during programme implementation trainings are imparted to these dealers so that the villagers seek correct information and advice for implementation.

The dealers must be trained on:

• Correct use of inputs which include comparative efficacy of inputs, dosage, training, method of application, cost etc.
• Marketing which includes items like regulated market, storage, transport, grading, market information etc.
