A.P. EXTENSION

closed

The Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Extension Project will serve about 5.5 million farm families in 22 districts in Andhra Pradesh by reorganizing and strengthening the agricultural extension services along the lines of the Training and Visit System of extension, which is based on frequent in-service training of extension workers to farmers' fields. The project faces no special risks, although realization of the expected benefits will depend heavily on the State Government's ability to manage the reorganized extension system effectively, maintaining an effective single line of command from extension headquarters to the field-level workers.
