  14. STRENGTHENING EXTENSION MACHINERY AT STATE LEVEL • Extn. mechanism through grassroot level workers – Extn. Officers, Gram sevaks, Agril. demonstrators at CD block, Agril. circles, Sub-divisional & District levels • Extn. support through Farmers Trg. Centres, KVKs, BATC, Information wing • 5 KVKs established in the State & for remaining two districts under process • Preparation of SREP under ATMA completed for 3 districts and in 4 districts under progress

  15. SEEDS • Availability of certified seeds during Kharif 2009 ( 9059 qtls ) procured from dealers appointed by Seed producing agencies was satisfactory • For Rabi 2009-10, 5401 qtls required & arrangement being made with NSC and other state seed producing agencies. • Though seed availability not much of a problem, action being taken on preparation of detailed State Seed Plan in case of emergencies. • To upgrade quality of farmer-saved seed, seed treatment is being popularized among the farmers. • For certification of seeds through seed village concept, assistance of Assam Seed Certifying Agency & setting up of own Seed Certifying Agency under process • To upgrade the quality control mechanism, the State is yet to establish a quality control laboratory • To enforce seed quality regulations, regular seed sampling is taken up to discourage sale and use of spurious seeds

Can it be brought under CSS – MI Scheme through convergence ?
