21. Inadequate Agricultural Research and Education, Training, and Extension


Though enough progress has been made in the field of agricultural research, there is no co-ordination between the farm and research laboratories in the different agro-climatic regions of the country. Hence, gains of new agricultural researches are not reaching the common cultivators, especially the marginal and small farmers. Very little attention is being paid for educating and training farmers for the adoption of new agricultural innovations and techniques to increase their agricultural production.
