Extension Methods
  • Extension methods have been seen as viable factor of agricultural production in India and elsewhere. Whether a public or private sector extension system, it should work on viable extension strategies based on various parameters existing at grass root level.

Telephone calls - Points to be considered

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 03 Jul, 2011

Some of the points to be considered are,
