The T & V Extension System

The main aim of this programme was to impart technical knowledge to farmers with special attention to contact farmers and guide them in the field operation to adopt more improved practices. The methodology provided for a management system which could ensure delivery of expert know-how to almost every field on a state wide basis every week or fortnight. Transfer of know-how from Subject Matter Specialist (SMS) to the farmer was ensured in two stages through-

  1. Training: For transfer of know-how from subject matter specialists to extension worker
  2. Visits: For transfer of know-how obtained at the training from extension worker to the farmer.
Objectives
  1. Coordinate research, training and extension activities effectively.
  2. To make research more effective by catering to the local needs and situation.
  3. To evolve an intensive training programme on a systematic basis for extension workers and farmers to ensure effective supervision and technical support to VEWs.
