PROJECT PROPOSAL
STRENGTHENING AGRICULTURAL MARKETING & AGRI BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN
KARNATAKA.
CRUCIAL ROLE
Revamping extension services for
technology transfer in broad based agricultural system aims
·
To support farmers through
technology packages to enhance their skills, confidence as also to optimize use
of land and water within sustainable parameters
·
To develop agro-climatic
differentiated strategies necessary for bridging the potential gaps in
productivity. Post harvest
technology / process and market access
·
To develop and provide farmer
driven and farmer accountable feed
back system
·
To promote GDP from 4 – 8%
OBJECTIVES
Strengthening
of existing TOT systems to achieve technology objectives
·
To develop hub of knowledge at
Hobli level through Information Communication
Technologies (ICT)
·
To transfer
latest farming technologies from lab to land most expeditious by using
ICT at Hobli level through Hobli Level Knowledge Centers (HLKC)
·
To reach new varieties / hybrids /
technological products to farmers most
expedit6iously by single window delivery system through District Level Knowledge
Centers (DLKC)
·
To assist farmers in achieving
results demonstrated under FLD, by
a arranging exposure visits of successful farmers
for capacity building
JUSTIFICATION:
Today the role of an extension worker is
no larger simply that of an information provider but it has to be viewed within
the increasingly complex context of market, social and environmental needed by
the farmers is changing both in terms of its content, context and its mode of
delivery.
The information, advice and other services offered by the TOT systems
need to be tailored to the needs and aspirations of the farmers. Knowledge has become perhaps the most important factor in
determining the pace of agricultural development in the Karnataka State.
Presently, transfer of technologies by Universities of Agricultural Sciences of
Bangalore and Dharwad is done in limited way mostly by frontline extension
services through KVKs / EEUs / ATIC. Considering that these Universities
cover vast area both irrigated and rain fed area in the State, spreading across
27 districts, the efforts made in the direction are meager. Further,
Karnataka agriculture covers 10 agro-climatic zones with varied farming systems,
diverse natural resources, huge pool of bio-diversity, a wide variety of
commodities and products and a vast market potentials provides high growth
supporting environment for agri-business. This also requires a paradigm
shift in the outlook towards natural resource management and agriculture
production to market focus and from quantity towards quality orientation.
Further, with globalization of agriculture in the post WTO era, there has been
opening up of the agricultural commodities and products towards free trade in
agriculture. These being the facts, there is a strong case for
strengthening of existing TOT systems to reach the un-reached farmer and enrich
his vision, knowledge; skill and confidence.
EXPECTED OUT COME OF THE PROJECT:
v
The existing agricultural growth
rate of 2.0% can be increased to 4.5% as envisaged
in the state agriculture policy and NDC resolution. The yield gap in
crop production will narrow down which will provide the food security
of the farm families
v
Strengthening of State
Agricultural Universities will supplement and compliment the efforts of the
Development Departments in transfer of Technology
v
Strengthening of multidisciplinary
teams at district level will support the RSKs
for Integrated Farming System Approach which will increase the per captia
income of the farm families
v
Through ICT un-reached can be
reached through interactive media which will help technological need of the farm
families
v
Employment and Income generation
can be achieved through intensive HRD & capacity building activities to the
unemployed rural youths, SHGs, small and marginal farmers.
v
Multi-agency extension services
will facilitate to improve the community based organization and emphasis the group approach to create income generating activities.
v
Livelihood of the farming
community will be improved
