Organization structure of the T&V system

The entire organization was based on total number of farm families which a village extension worker (VEO or VLW) could reasonably cover.

It was organized in such a manner that an agriculture extension officer (AEO) guide, train and supervise about six to eight village extension workers. Six to eight AEOS in turn will be guided and supervised by Sub Divisional Extension Officer (SDEO). The SDEOs will be supported by a team of SMSs. Four to eight SDEOs are supervised by a District Extension Officer (DEO) who is also supported by SMSs. Depending on the number of districts, the DEO is supervised either directly by Extension Staff from headquarter or by intermediate supervisor.
