MAHARASHTRA AG EXTEN

closed

The Maharashtra Agricultural Extension Project will recognize and strengthen agricultural extension services in Maharashtra along the lines of the Training and Visit System of extension, which is based on frequent in-service training of extension workers and regular, scheduled visits by 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 effectively manage the reorganized extension system, maintaining an effective single line of command from extension headquarters to the field-level workers.
