1. TRAINERS TRAINING CENTRE, LAB TO LAND PROGRAMME, OPERATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT.

2. The activities of Division of Agricultural and veterinary Extension include technology assessment, refinement, and transfer aiming to bridge the gap between the technology developed at research stations and its adoption at field level.

3. Major projects of the Division are Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Trainers Training Centre (TTC)

4. Technology Assessment and Refinement is done through Institution-Village Linkage Programme (IVLP), and Agricultural Technology Information Centre (ATIC). At present, there are 680 KVKs in india…. In which 24 are located in AP and 14 are located in Telangana.

5. TRAINERS’ TRAINING CENTERS (TTC)

6. In 1976 the ICAR has established 7 TTC’S in different parts of the country to provide specialized training to the teachers of the KVKs, to those in - service teachers, extension officers of line departments, university teachers, entrepreneurs and staff who are involved in vocational agriculture and veterinary services in different institutions.

7. The TTCs functioning in the country are to provide technical support and update the skill of the staff of KVKs and subject matter specialists in their areas of specialization as well as latest training methodology During the year 1976.., 216 training courses were organized benefiting 4,140 participants.

8. OBJECTIVES   To impart training to the teachers of KVK in agricultural technology. To train teachers who are likely to be engaged in teaching in agriculture at high school level. To train the trainers of gramsevika/ gramsewak extension training centers of the region.

9. To organize vocational training programmes in agriculture technologies and home economics To train the field level extension workers. To train the veterinarians To train the veterinary assistants.

14. State Animal Husbandry Training Centre, Mandapeta, East Godavari District 7 REGIONAL ANIMAL HUSBANDRY TRAINING CENTRES (RAHTCs) are located in combined Andhra Pradesh.

15. LAB TO LAND PROGRAMME (LLP)

16. Lab to Land programme (LLP)   was implemented in 1979, by ICAR as a part of its Golden Jubilee celebrations. The Lab to Land Programme (LLP) was launched-with the aim to extend and promote new technologies among the small and marginal farmers and landless agricultural labourers and also test the relevance of the technologies in their socio -economic conditions

17. AIM The aim of the programme is to assist the selected farm families for improving their farming systems and thereby generating more employment and income.

18. IDEA The basic idea is to bring the scientists and farmers into a common forum and to introduce appropriate technologies facilitating the diversification of labour-use and creating supplementary sources of income in the fields of agriculture and allied enterprises.

19. This project was unique in the sense that no staff component was provided in the project. The project centers were therefore run by the ICAR Institutes SAUs, NGOs and KVKs with the help of a multi-disciplinary team of scientists drawn from different departments.

20. This programme brought the scientists in close interaction with the farmers and gave the scientists an opportunity to have first hand feed-back from the field There were 104 Lab to Land centers in the country when these were integrated into KVKs.

21. The CMFRI is one of the first institutes to launch the programme in all seriousness and made an early start right from January, 1979. The Lab-to-Land Programme on prawn culture at Valappu near Cochin was inaugurated by Dr. M. S. Swaminathan FRS, Director General of ICAR on 13 March, 1979.

22. Objectives To study and understand the background and resources of the selected farmers and landless agricultural labourers. To introduce low-cost relevant agricultural and allied technologies on their farms/houses for increasing their employment production and income.

23. To assist the farmers to develop feasible farm plans keeping in view the availability of technologies, needs and resources of the farmers, and the resources which could be made available from external sources/agencies. To guide and help the farmers in adopting improved technologies as per their farm plans, and demonstrate to them the economic viability of those technologies as well as methods of cultivation and farm management

24. To organize training programmes and other extension activities in relation to their adopted practices, and prepare them for active participation in agricultural development programmes of the state departments of agriculture To make the farmers aware of the various opportunities and agencies which they could utilize to their economic advantage.

25. To develop functional relations and linkages with the scientists/institutions for future guidance, advisory services and help. To utilize this project as a feed-back mechanism for the agricultural scientists and extension functionaries

26. OPERATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT

27. AIM ORP aimed to disseminating the proven technology in area among farmers on a water shed basis, covering the whole village. The conceptual framework of ORP was that it was primarily devoted to demonstrating the impact of new technology on a large scale.

28. The ORP considered two problems Common agricultural problems affecting the community requiring community or group action e.g. Plant protection, rodent control 2. Total resource development

29. OBJECTIVES 1. To test, adopt, demonstrate the new technology 2. To determine the profitability of the new technology 3. To identify the constraints which are barriers of the rapid change 4.To demonstrate group action as a method of popularizing the modern technologies to a faster rate

30. In order to achieve the above objectives, this project introduced Ecologically sound technologies Socioeconomically compatible technologies Diversification of labour use Scientific land and water planning Up gradation of technological infrastructure for agricultural advancement Development of value added products in the villages through improved post harvest technologies

31. TYPES There are three types of ORPS namely 1. Watershed resources, Development in dry land areas 2. Problem oriented ORPs 3. Audience oriented ORPs

32. FARMER INTERCTION There is purposeful interaction between the scientists, extension personnel, and farmers under this project which enables the scientists to gain insight in to socio-economic constraints that affect the adoption of research results

33. RESULT ORP demonstrated the new technologies on the farmers fields itself It is also studied the socio economic technological extension and administrative barriers

34. Some Works done under this project were 1.The population of crossbred cattle in the 30 adopted villages increased from 231 to 2,254 since the inception of the project in 1975. 2. The 'ORP on Sheep and Wool Development was undertaken by the Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute, Avikanagar (Rajasthan), in 1976.

35. 3.The project conducted up to 1981 indicated that the crossbreeding of sheep with exotic breeds was adopted by 60% sheep-rearing farmers, and mortality declined from 20 to 10%.

36. 4. An ORP on Livestock and Fodder Improvement was implemented by the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, lzatnagar, in 14 villages in Chainpur block of Bareilly district (Uttar Pradesh). The farmers were shown that regular vaccination prevented outbreak of hemorrhagic septicemia.

37. 5. The ORP on Composite Fish Culture at Barrackpore was implemented by the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute. 6.Demonstrations on pig-cum-fish farming were also conducted in operational areas 7.Demonstrations on fish-duck farming and fish-poultry farming were conducted in the operational areas

38. 8. The ORP on Blending Sea-Farming with Capture Fisheries was implemented by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin . 9. The ORP on Arid Land Management was implemented by the Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI), Jodhpur. 10.
