B. Extension Services Framework

The objective of the extension system is to have a coordinated system of agro input information and agricultural advisory services that would reach and respond to diverse requirements of various farming methods and the different needs of farmer groups. Our approach would be a “contracting in” system i.e. a private sector driven system in which the private sector organisation contracts in public sector extension staff.
