MP AGRIC. EXTENSION

closed

The Madhya Pradesh Agricultural Extension Project will reorganize and strengthen agricultural extension services in thirty districts of Madhya Pradesh 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 T&V System has already been introduced in 15 of the State's districts under an earlier IDA-supported project. 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 a single line of command from extension headquarters to the field-level workers.
