Special Request

• Since the productivity is directly linked to
  permanent rearing sheds, enhancement of subsidy
  from Rs.50,000/- per shed to Rs.1 lakh (7525
  matching share of GOI State Govt.) to cover
  10,000 sheds per year during XI Plan.
• Addl. Financial Requirement Rs.75 crores from
  GOI Rs 25 Crores from State Govt. during the XI
  Plan.

Agricultural Extension
35
Agricultural Extension Present Scenario in AP

• Reach and focus missing.
• An Agricultural Officer covering 20-30 villages /
  mandal. Assisted by 1-2 AEOs/ mandal, compared to
  around 6000 VLWs during CD block period.
• More focus on regulatory and administrative
  functions rather than knowledge/skill transfer.
• The gap in spread/reach grabbed by input dealer
  network- quality missing.
• Lack of convergence.

Cont.
36
Agricultural Extension Present Scenario in AP

• Weak research - extension-farmer-market
  linkages.
• Poor infrastructural facilities.
• Inadequate operating resources financial
  sustainability.
• World over three approaches found to be
  successful
• - Local body managed extension
• - Farmers organizations/ commodity groups
  managed extension
• - Private sector promoted.

37
Current budgetary investment on extension plan
schemes on each farm holding
per annum
38
Approach for the XI Five Year Plan on
Agricultural Extension.

• Focused farming situation based
  approach-rainfed agriculture
• Improved reach-through dedicated manpower
• Using progressive farmers as resource for better
  reach.
• Encouraging CIG/FIG groups and farmers
  organizations/ federations for extension as well
  as non farm linkages.
• Promoting broad based extension towards farming
  systems approach.

Cont.
39
Approach for the XI Five Year Plan on
Agricultural Extension.

• Bottom up planning market orientation.
• Harnessing synergy of public private sector.
• Use of Information Communication technologies
  for effective delivery.
• Main streaming gender in Agriculture.
• Strengthening Research Extension -
  Farmer-market linkages
