Impact of Agricultural Extension: A Case Study of the Training and Visit System in Haryana, India

摘要

The paper presents results from a study designed to estimate the effect on agricultural productivity of Training and Visit (T&V) Extension. As part of the field work for the study sample surveys of farmers were conducted in 1982 and 1983 in two contiguous areas in India. One of the areas is Karnal district in the State of Haryana where the T&V system was introduced in late 1979 and the other is Kairana tehsil in the State of Uttar Pradesh where the older community development system of extension still operates. The two areas are environmentally and culturally very similar. (Copyright (c) 1985 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank.)
