India – Questions1 • What is the contrast between selected clusters? • Main is milk marketing • How many mid-clusters? How do IPs work? • Each block one dairy IP and 2 feed IP • What is SHG? What they do? • Self-help groups: mostly for savings, mainly women; in this area also involved in marketing activities: dairy, poultry, agri-products etc • What is KVK • KrishiVikas Kendra (Agri knowledge centre): Central Government-funded extension centres for demo of agri and livestock practices (one for each district in India)
India – questions 2 • What is the role of private actors in dairy marketing? • Very few shop-keepers, sweet stalls • Private companies are selling milk from other states into Uttarakhand • How do agricultural information centres work? • State owned • Help farmers for seeds/cropping • DDB-Note: we have to learn the success and failure the reasons and analysis, but how to capture this is important? • Case studies • Generalisation could be difficult • Can we get indications of innovations from the government level also, apart from NGO activities like CHIRAG? • Key actors for certain activities can be identified • We have to capture the policy level actors / influencing actors • Village bodies (panchayat presidents, block councillors) should also be considered • Are loosing sight of farmers? Focus on actors? • Its different in India - reach more farmers through the actors • How shall we document/ share Net-Map results?
