Abstract

The Public Extension service by itself is not enough to handle the multifarious demands of the farming community and is being supplemented by private extension through agribusiness companies, input dealers, NGOs, farmers' organizations, etc. About 2.8 lakh agri-input dealers are operating in rural areas in the country. Though not equipped with adequate knowledge, they have become one of the important sources of farm information to the farming community. At the all India level the input dealers stand second (13.1 %) in accessibility to the farming community for providing information on modern technologies (NSSO-2003), first being the progressive farmers. Among the states the farm-households accessing information through 'input dealers' was highest in West Bengal (36%), followed by Andhra Pradesh (30%) and Gujarat (24%) (NSSO-2003)
