Agriculture is the driving force of the rural economy. But the prevailing agricultural technologies and crop cultivation practices are so traditional – an identified reason for low productivity. Introduction and popularization of modern technologies is therefore a demand of the time. Modernization of agriculture can be effective step towards revolutionary changes in the national economy.

To make the rural agriculturists aware of benefits of modern production technologies and crop management practices and also to encourage them to adopt those technologies, SSS has undertaken the Agricultural Extension Services Programme and has established several agro-production farms and processing units demonstrating improved production and processing technologies.

The main purpose of this programme is to assist farmers exploiting the production potential of their available land, and thereby to achieve self-reliance, through diversification and intensification of crop cultivation.

Established several demonstration farms for action research on innovative production technologies and also to show the farmers on-the-field cultivation practices and outcomes, the SSS activities in the line include dissemination and popularization of the proven agricultural technologies including improved variety seeds of different crops and vegetable.
