The objective is to promote adoption of agricultural technologies and farmer innovation in order to increase productivity and production so as to meet household or market requirements.

Peer learning through farming clusters and Lead farmers has resulted in increased adoption of technologies that meet their agricultural production requirement. Mobilizing farmers in farming clusters and mounting of harmonized demonstrations and field days has helped to increase adopting of productivity and production by farmers. |
