Mission

To transform Students into para-extension professionals thereby strengthening the Agriculture extension system so as to enable themselves to serve the farmers better.

TRANSFORMATION OF INPUT DEALERS INTO PARA AGRICULTURE EXTENSION PROFESSIONALS

In India, there are about 3.4 lakh practicing agri-input dealers, who are the prime source of farm information to the farmers. The contact point for majority of farmers is the agri-input dealers. While purchasing different inputs required for farming operations, the farmer naturally tires to find out from the input dealer about the usage of inputs, both in terms of quality and quantity.

However, most of these input dealers do not have formal Agriculture education. If these input dealers can be shaped as para-extension professionals by providing requisite knowledge, they can professionalise extension services and contribute to bring a paradigm shift in Indian Agriculture. So that Government of India issued a Gazette Notification on 1st February, 2017, wide Gazette No- 83/GSR1O6(E).

10th pass, Preference will be given to input dealers.
