Explanation:
Development of Agriculture continues to remain critical for India’s economic growth, poverty reduction and ensuring food security of the country, as over 58 per cent of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. Green Revolution which brought food sufficiency to the country was due to combination of technologies viz., hybrids and high yielding varieties, fertilizers and improved agronomic practices and public policy. This revolution was made possible through an Organized and Committed Agricultural Extension system that ably supported and supplemented the input intensive production system.
In spite of significant growth in agriculture, Indian Agriculture continues to face serious challenges such as declining soil; water and other natural resources; decreasing size of farm holding; Input use inefficiency; costly and scarce agriculture labour; drudgery in farming operations; growing risks in farming; information, knowledge and skill gaps; poor access to credit and investments; slow diffusion of relevant technologies; competiveness of quality and prices in export & domestic markets; inadequate focus on processing and value addition; Low profitability of agriculture; inadequate rural infrastructure; poor access to resources and services for Women in agriculture; weak institutional linkages and convergence; Extreme events of Climate change etc. The real challenge remains in diffusion of the technologies generated by the research system to the farmers through an effective extension delivery system to address these challenges. Thus, extension is strategic to the growth of agriculture and allied sectors and enhancing the farmers’ income.
