PRESENTATION BY GROUP IV RESEARCH AND EXTENSION NATIONAL KHARIF CONFERENCE 2011
Deployment of Manpower • Clearly state your company’s long-term mission. • Try to use words that will help direct the growth of your company, but be as concise as possible.
Fund Utilisation • Summarize your market in the past, present, and future. • Review those changes in market share, leadership, players, market shifts, costs, pricing, or competition that provide the opportunity for your company’s success.
Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) • Progress under PPP not encouraging in most of the States • PPP being confused with outsourcing of extension work to NGO/PVT sector • True PPP mode has to have clearly defined contributions from both the public and Private partners • Private partners shouldnot take undue advantage of PPP in promoting their own products • PPP arrangements may be finalised through a transparent bidding process wherever there is more demand
Convergence between Research & Extension • Arunachal Pradesh • No Feed Back • Jharkhand • Monthly interface between ATMA and KVK Started • Himachal Pradesh • Monthly interface between ATMA and KVK and joint visit to villages Started • SAUs have designated district-wise experts • Kerala • 14 district level interfaces conducted. • Meghalaya • Linkage between ATMA-KVK/Research Stations in some districts • Rajasthan • Organization of one day workshop on Convergence • Uttar Pradesh • State directives to all concerned deptts for convergence
Issues and Suggestions • Cost norms of different GOI schemes for training/demonstration vary. • GOI may rationalize the same during 12th Plan • ATIC-KVK-ATMA interface at State level may be held at regular intervals • ICAR is bringing out its Research- Extension policy; Any such policy should be brought out in consultation with DAC
Issues and Suggestions • Proactive involvement of SLC/ DLCs in content creation and review of programmes telecast/broadcast by DD/AIR.Regular meetings are not being held in the States except for Punjab, Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh. • If Secretary/ APC are not able to conduct the meeting regularly, meeting may be conducted at Director’s level. • Use of DD and AIR to disseminate messages / advisories to the farmers to cope up with emergent issues. • A Nodal Officer for linking the development Departments with DD/ AIR to be nominated by each State.
Issues and Suggestions • The annual ceiling in the cafeteria for CRS is uniform for all states ( Rs.54 lakh). This is not sufficient for bigger states. • The ceiling may be consistent with the size of the state. States may project their requirements in this regard, so that suitable approvals could be taken by GOI. • Some applications directly sent by the States are pending with I&B Ministry. • All the applications are to be routed through DAC, so that DAC can take up the matter with I&B. Ministry.
Implementation of Modified Approach • States to implement revised KCC mechanism as per circular dated 7.4.2011 • States to closely involve in selection process of KCC agents. • A roster of experts to be deputed at weekly/ fortnightly intervals for responding to farmers’ calls at KCC in conference mode. The roster may be shared with respective KCCs.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AGRI-CLINICS & AGRI-BUSINESS CENTRES
Issues and Suggestions • States find no role in ACABC scheme. • The revised scheme has enough provisions for state involvement in selection of NTIs, candidates, monitoring/surprise inspections and using ACABC for extension delivery/ distribution of inputs under different schemes. • States desirous of implementing the scheme may do it through respective SAMETIs for which funding would be channelized through MANAGE.
