    HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICULTURE

Human Resource Development is an important factor in capacity building and improving the overall efficiency of functionaries involved in implementation, monitoring, evaluation, research and extension programmes. Training is a major component of Human Resource Development. Systematic training, planning, management and its implementation by making best utilization of resources available within the country helps in bringing about desirable changes in knowledge and upgrade skills of extension functionaries associated with the process of agriculture development. The training infrastructure has been created to meet out the training requirements of all levels of extension functionaries, farm youth and farmwomen. Looking into the importance of training in capacity building of extension experts and farmers, this scheme is selected for the strengthening of extension services and dissemination of agricultural technology to the farming community.

             The public research extension systems have played a major role in increasing agricultural production. In order to achieve such objectives conduct of seminars / workshops, conduct of training programmes & field demonstration to selected local farmers, presentation of awards for agricultural activities by the farmers, Printing & publishing of literature and procurement of extension aids have been included in this scheme. 

            The Agricultural Extension set up in the department at present is very weak and hence to overcome this, there is a need to assess the state training needs and to sensitize the officers of the department. Hence it is suggested that training experts from the Research Institutions / KAU / KVKs will be invited to impart training to the staff of the department & local farmers.

             KVK Lakshadweep being the part and parcel of Department of Agriculture, is the nodal Institute for imparting training, conducting FLDs & OFTs. Provision has been made to assist KVK financially. Hence a component financial support to KVK also proposed in the scheme.
