1 IARI-Post Office Linkage Extension Model for effective outreach of frontline extension Division of Agricultural Extension ICAR-IARI, New Delhi
2 Agricultural Extension Major challenges Majority of the states have their extension staff up to Block level. Most of the existing extension personnel perform multiple roles. Technology generation is very fast and dissemination is not keeping pace (Extension worker: farmer ratio is very wide 1 : 5,000 (9788) in India v/s 1 : 625 (1035) in China) (Davis et. al, 2010; Ragasa et. al, 2013) (one extensionist : 1200 farmers) (Kaegi, 2015) In India, out of 143,863 positions in the Department of Agriculture, only 91,288 posts are filled (Chandre Gowda, 2011). RAS services reach 6.8% farmers (GFRAS, 2012), 6% (Ghimire, 2014). One extension worker per 280 farm households (China and Vietnam). Indonesia, each extension worker covers about 2.8 villages. (GFRAS, 2012) Educational background and professional expertise of VLW is not sufficient to address diverse information need- knowledge updating required Branch post masters of post offices in rural areas can be potential extension agents after training
3 Post Office Potential Alternatives 1,55,015 POs in the country Almost 90% of these post offices are in rural areas (1,39,144 post offices) About 6.5 lakhs employee Rural branch post office caters to 5-6 villages and the branch post masters (BPM) mostly are farmers. During last 10 years, decline in the mail and delivery of ordinary post Collaborative activities with other agencies (bank, investment agency, insurance departments) increased by 15-20% EPP/BP (BNPL) takes 4-6 days, Retail post, Media post Republic of Korea, postal services were successfully utilized for e-commerce and farming particularly fish farming for marketing of the produce using ICT enabled technologies (ITU, 2010)
4 IARI-Post Office Linkage Process Identification of BPMs, sensitization of BPMs and farmers Crop monitoring and technical advice by IARI & KVK scientists (periodically) and BPM (regularly) Seed packets per farmer: Seed sent per post office: BPMs and farmers identify the farmers for demonstrations Performance reporting of IARI crop varieties by the farmers as well as BPM wheat (10 kgs.), paddy (5 kgs.), mustard (1 kg) wheat (2 q), paddy (1 q), mustard (20 kgs.) 1 seed packet for the village post master as incentive Seeds of improved variety sent to the BPM through Express Parcel Post/Business Post Overall planning for next year as per farmers and BPM s feedback KVK-PO Partners

8 Performance of IARI paddy varieties Variety Range of yield (q/ha) Av. Yield (q/ha) Advantages (%) PB PB P P P 2511 performed well (yield advantage 9%) in M.P., U.P. and West Bengal, preferred by farmers due to short duration, low water requirement and higher market price Bakanae disease has been reported in PB 1509 IARI Basmati varieties recorded 11 16% yield increase over Basmati 370 in Jammu and Sharbati in Uttarakhand
9 Performance of IARI Wheat Varieties Crop Variety Range of Yield (q/ha) Av. Yield (q/ha) HD 2967 was preferred by farmers across project locations for more yield and grain size HD 2967 and HD 3086 less affected by terminal heat Pusa Mustard 28 and 30 preferred by the farmers for yield and high oil content (~40%) in (J&K, Rajasthan, Western UP, Haryana and MP) Pusa Mustard 26 was preferred by the farmers because of its short duration (107 days) in eastern parts of the country (Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand) B:C ratio of Pusa Mustard 30 was recorded as high as 1:2.97 Yield Advantage (%) of IARI variety Benefit - Cost Ratio Wheat HD HD HD Mustard Pusa Mustard Pusa Mustard Pusa Mustard

18 Frequency of farmers visiting post office and village post master increased significantly and post masters were acting as opinion leader in the community. Social network and communication pattern in the rural society changed. Social recognition of the village post masters enhanced (doing meaningful community service) Self-satisfaction and Additional income Feedback of village post masters 18
19 Major conclusions drawn IARI-Post Office Linkage Extension Model found as cost effective and successful means for making the improved agricultural technologies available in the rural areas in relatively less time. More than 90% of farmers received seeds within 4 6 days of despatch. Yield of major cereals, oilseeds and vegetables increased 11 30%. Capacity building activities benefited both the village post masters and farmers. Knowledge gain (23 36%) was recorded. Alternate extension mechanism for dissemination of technology (Village post masters as community based extension agents) and effective outreach of institution to remotely located farmers. 19

21 Issues emerged Seeds of latest varieties to be sent to the KVKs for further dissemination In case, IARI varieties are not relevant according to the situation of the districts, technology suitable for the area may be disseminated using this mechanism. The technology performance at the village level must be shared with Zonal Project Directorate during various meetings and ought to be reflected in KVKs' Progress Report. Host institutions of KVKs to be informed Zonal level workshop of partner KVKs proposed The PC or SMS of selected KVKs/ Scientist from ZPDs proposed to be recognised as Associate in this project and will be responsible for overall planning and execution of the activities in the district/overall coordination and monitoring of the programme at Zonal level. KVK and selected village post masters may select the beneficiary farmers in each season and seeds can be sent directly to the farmers and village post masters Seed delivery channel may be critically looked into to evaluate its efficiency and assess seed quality once the seed is delivered to the farmers
