 I. INTRODUCTION
Genesis
In post-independence era, India has set
up an extensive National Agricultural
Research System with nearly 30,000
scientists working in the Indian Council
of Agricultural Research and State
Agricultural University Institutions.
This infrastructure is supplemented
with a large agricultural extension staff,
numbering nearly 120,000, that is work-
ing under the State Departments of
Agriculture. While India's progress in
agricultural production has been
remarkable, for which much of the
credit goes to Research and Extension
system, there has been increasing
realisation that this infrastructure needs
to work more efficiently and be more
responsive to the needs of the farmers.
Management was considered to be a
crucial input to achieve this objective.
With the establishment of National
Academy of Agricultural Research
Management (NAARM) in 1976, this
need was met for the agricultural _re-
search system.
Similarly, for the extension system,
MANAGE was established .as an apex
national institute in 1985 as a limb of the
National Institute of Rural Develop-
ment. However, on June 11, 1987, it was
registered as an autonomous institution
under the Ministry of Agriculture. Its
original name was National Centre for
Management of Agricultural Extension
which was changed by Government of
India to National Institute of Agricul-
tural Extension Management in August,
1992.
In the Memorandum of Association
MANAGE was established with the fol-
'
lowing mandate:
i) To develop systematic linkages be-
tween state, regional, national
and international institutions of
outstanding accomplishments in
the field of Agricultural Extension
Management;
ii) To gain overall insight into Agricul-
tural Extension Management Sys-
tems and Policies together with
operational problems and con-
straints at each step and stage;
iii) To identify, appreciate and
develop modern management
tools, techniques in problem-solv-
ing approaches and utilising the
mechanism of personnel manage-
ment, resource management, input
management and finally the con-
flict management at the organisa-
tion level;
iv) To develop skills in orgamsmg
need based field programmes for
training and retraining of senior
 and middle level functionaries for
executing extension programme;
v) To conduct programme-oriented
researches in the area of Agricul-
tural Extension Management as a
sequel to provide feedback to train-
ing programmes. Such kind and
types of researches will generally
be undertaken on the recommen-
dations and issues emanating from
training and vice-versa;
vi) To serve as a repository of ideas
and develop information, regional,
national and international, com-
munication and documentation
services, etc. in regard to the sub-
ject of agricultural extension
management.
vii) To forge linkages with national and
international institutions under
suggested programme of institu-
tional collaboration and employ-
ment of consultants.
MANAGE is currently located in the
campus of National Institute of Rural
Development, Rajendranagar,
Hyderabad.
Administrative Structure
In order to fulfil its objectives,
MANAGE has the followidng ad-
ministrative structure.
The General Council is the supreme
authority for MANAGE whose Presi-
dent is the Hon'ble Union Minister of
Agriculture. It has two Vice Presidents
namely, the Union Minister of State for
Agriculture and Secretary to Govern-
ment of India, Dept. of Agriculture &
Cooperation. It has 44 other members,
of which 19 are officials in their ex-of-
ficio capacity representing Central and
State Government departments and in-
s tit u ti o ns and 25 non-officials
nominated by the Government of India
from out of legislators, Agricultural
Universities, Non-Governmental or-
ganisations and the farming community.
A complete list of the members, as on
31.3.1993, is given in Annex- I.
The general administrative authority
vests in the Executive council with
Secretary to Government of India,
Dept. of Agriculture & Cooperation as
its Chairman with twelve members, of
which five are officials from the Ministry
of Agriculture and five non-officials.
The list of members of Executive Coun-
cil as on 31.3.1993 is given in Annex - 2.
During 1992-93, a general meeting of
the General Council was held on
29.3.1993. Another special meeting of
the General Council was held on the
same day a little later. The Executive
Council met three times during the year
on 22.5.1992, 29.9.1992 and 29.3.1993.
The Director General of National In-
stitute of Rural Development is desig-
nated as the Ex-Officio Director
General of the MANAGE. He is the

The administrative structure of the In-
stitute is divided into five divisions.
These are, Administration, Accounts,
Engineering, Academic Faculty and
Technical Support Services. The or-
ganisational chart given below gives
more details of the administrative struc-
ture.
MANAGE has a sanctioned strength of
105 posts. However, only 32 posts were
filled up as on 31.3.1993. The details are

Funds
The major source of funding for
MANAGE is the World Bank. Since
1986, a Special sub-Project under Na-
tional Agricultural Extension Project - I
(NAEP - I) was sanctioned to finance
MANAGE activities. This sub-Project
was supplemented by another Special
sub-Project in 1991 under National
Agricultural Extension Project - ID
(NAEP - III), which is the current
source of funding for MANAGE with an
outlay of Rs.1004.30 Iakhs upto March
1994.
A major part of the project funds
amounting to Rs.518.90 lakhs, are
provided for construction of MANAGE
building complex on a 16 hectare site
leased to MANAGE by the Andhra
Pradesh Agricultural University. The
remaining provision is meant for pur-
chase of equipment, establishment cost
of core faculty, besides expenditure on
training and research activities.
MANAGE also earns some income
through its consultancy and training ac-
tivities, particularly through its inter-
national training programmes and study
tours for extension officers from other
developing countries. The details of
MANAGE fundidng and expenditure
are given in the Annual Accounts for the
year 1992-93.

 II. TRAINING PROGRAMMES
MANAGE has focussed its attention on
the following areas of its mandate for
developing its training programmes:
i) Develop states' capacity for train-
ing their staff.
ii) Train agricultural extension
managers at home and abroad in
field-oriented and need-based ex-
tension management.
Training should not be an end in itself
but should subserve a larger practical
goal. MANAGE has, therefore, woven
its training strategy to ensure that all the
above three aspects are incorporated in
each and every training programme.
For this MANAGE has taken up the
following training programmes
1. Agricultural Extension Manage-
ment Training Project (AEMTP)
Extension Management training is
projectised. MANAGE requested the
State Governments to identify one im-
portant project in each state, such as
Watershed Development, Oilseeds and
Pulses development, Special
Foodgrains Production Project, etc.
The states were then asked co identify
two or three districts in each project so
that the total strength of the project staff
in the agriculture department and other
5
related departments and institutions
working on that project would be ap-
proximately 250-300. MANAGE then
entered into a Memorandum of Under-
standing with each State Goverament to
provide management training to all the
project staff through 12 to 15 courses
over a period of one year or so. During
this training, MANAGE also undertook
to train the selected State faculty of four
to six facilitators to enable them to con-
tinue this kind of management training
even beyond the project period; While
facilitators' training was conducted at
MANAGE, the project staff training
was conducted off- campus within each
state. This training was followed up with
on-the-job consultancy to help the
project staff to put into practice the
management principles and practices
learnt during their training.
The course design, course content and
training methodology have been
developed in collaboration with a
British consultancy company known as
the Coverdale Group, who are col-
laborating with MANAGE for the im-
plementation of this project with
funding from Overseas Development
Authority (ODA, U.K.
During 1992-93, Phase-I of the AEMTP
was run with 25 general management
training programmes throughout the
 country. From August 1992, in Phase-II
of AEMTP, which will continue till
December 1993, five States came for-
ward to projectise their management
training programmes and were included
in the project. In September, 1992, 12
facilitators from these states were iden-
tified and given the facilitators' training
to be follwed up by project staff training
from November, 1992 onwards. Due to
disruption in transport and communica-
tion as an aftermath of Ayodhya incident
and Indian Airlines pilots strike, the
training programmes actually began
from January, 1993. Brief details of
these five state projects are given below.
a) Andhra Pradesh took up Water-
shed development in the districts of
Mehboobnagar, Nalgonda, Ranga
Reddy, Khammam, Cuddapah,
Ananthapuram, Prakasham and
Vijayanagaram. Six courses with
122 participants were conducted
during 1992-93. Also one more
new facilitator was trained.
b) In Maharashtra, the project taken
up was the T & V project in Auran-
gabad Division. Six courses with
126 participants were trained
during 1992-93. Besides, three
new facilitators were trained.
c) In Assam, Jorhat District was iden-
tified and the project identified was
Rice Based Management through
T & V and Agricultural University
staff. Six courses with 101 par-
L 6
ticipants were conducted during
1992 -93. Also three new
facilitators were trained.
d) In Tamilnadu two districts of
Trichy and Coimbatore were iden-
tified for providing management
training to the project staff under
National Watershed Development
Project (NWDPRA). Four courses
with 67 participants were organised
during 1992-93. Besides, four new
facilitators were trained.
e) In Uttar Pradesh, the project iden-
tified was the T & V in Allahabad
and Jhansi districts. But, due to
delay in the sanction of the project
by Uttar Pradesh Government,
only three programmes with 52
participants could be conducted
during 1992-93. However, one
new facilitator was trained.
In addition, two courses with 39 par-
ticipants in Gujarat, three courses with
51 participants in Orissa and two courses
with 33 participants in Haryana have
also been conducted during the year.
Thus 12 new and 16 old facilitators were
trained through four facilitators' train-
ing programmes/workshops. Besides
177 numbers of officers were trained
through five courses during 1992-93.
The details are given in Annex - 4 (A)
(B) and (C).

2. FSBE/PRA Training Programmes
One of the important constraints in
adoption of new technologies by the
farmers is the generalised nature of the
package of practices recommended for
a whole agro-ecological zone. The
farmers perceive several of the practices
in the package as not relevant to their
peculiar field situations. This package
is, therefore, either not adopted or
modified by the farmers through their
own innovations to meet their produc-
tion problems and economic con-
straints.
MANAGE has evolved the FSBE/PRA
training courses which sensitise the re-
search and extension personnel to the
diversity in farming situations, even
within an agro-ecological zone, under
which a single crop is grown. The par-
ticipants are then given technical skills
of using Participatory Rural Appraisal
(PRA) techniques in eliciting farmer in-
novations and indigenous technical
knowledge and their perceptions of the
reasons for adoption gaps. The course
then provides technical skills through
interactive learning on modification of
the generalised package of practices to
suit the peculiarities of different farming
situations and how extension strategy
can be designed around the modified
package and the persistent adoption
gaps.
During 1992-93, MANAGE conducted
8 training programmes on FSBE/PRA
7
methods with 155 number of par-
ticipants. The details are given inAn-
nexure - 4.
3. Facililtators Development
Programmes
During 1992-93, MANAGE had its
own faculty of eight. But MANAGE
conducted 59 training programmes
with a total of 1154 participants.
While a few guest faculty were used
for some of the programmes, most of
the programmes were conducted by
MANAGE own faculty in collabora-
tion with 28 facilitaotrs spread all over
the country who had been specially
selected and trained by MANAGE
under AEMTP with an understanding
between MANAGE, the facilitators
and their employers that they would
be available for a certain minimum
period to run MANAGE training
programmes. These facilitators are
drawn from various sources like the
ICAR, NIRD, EEis, State Agricul-
tural Universities, State Departments
of Agriculture, etc. Upto 1991-92, 16
such facilitators had been identified
and trained. During 1992-93, another
12 facilitators were added. MANAGE
has, therefore, invested considerable
time and effort in upgrading the skills
on these 28 facilitators through
several Facilitator Development
Workshops, foreign training,
specialised training in technical sub-
 jects like FSBE, PRA and field con-
sultancy, etc.
During 1992-93 four Facilitator
development workshops/ training cour-
ses were organised. It has to be noted
that the actual number of persons is 28,
who had undergone multiple training
programmes during the year.
4. Information Technology Training
Programmes
It is well-known that a very large portion
of research findings in agriculture does
not get converted into technical recom-
mendations. Similarly, a very large body
of indigenous technical knowledge
which is based on farmers' innovations
over centuries does not get validated
and become a part of accepted practices.
Even the recommended practices, very
often, do not get processed into effec-
tive extension messages or get distorted
in transmission. MANAGE has set up
an Information and Documentation
Centre to access knowledge from
various sources using sophisticated
electronic hardware and software.
MANAGE would like to develop train-
ing modules on such information tech-
nology and information processing
techniques, computer applications and
communication techniques which would
help set up an infrastructure and techni-
cal data-base in addition to trained man-
power which will enable effective
agriculture research extension farmer
linkages and information flows. As a
8
first step MANAGE conducted one
course on communication techniques
and computer applications in agricul-
ture during 1992-93, covering 22 num-
ber of participants. The details are given
in Annex-4(£).
5. International Training Program-
mes
Due to its achievements in the field of
agriculture and as a pioneer in introduc-
ing the T & V system, India is considered
a fore-runner in agriculture research
and extension systems amongst develop-
ing countries. With the introduction of
T & V system in more and more
developing countries under the aegis of
the World Bank, interest in Indian
agriculture extension system has been
on the increase. MANAGE has been
declared by Government of India as the
nodal institute for organising training
programmes for foreign participants.
While such programmes generally ex-
pose foreign participants to principles
and policies on agriculture extension,
the role of various national and state
level departments and institutions; and
actual operational modalities of the
transfer of technology in the field, care
is also taken to tailor these programmes
to the specific information and training
needs of participants through a com-
bination of class-room exposure; visits to
institutions, participation in field, train-
ing and workshops and interaction with
farmers. Similarly, study tours are or-
ganised to familiarise foreign par-
ticipants with Indian institutions and
. I
experiences in Agriculture, Horticul-
ture, Animal Husbandry and Sericul-
ture, etc.
During 1992-93, three international
training prodgrammes/study tours with
40 number of participants were or-
ganised. The details are given in
Annexure -4(F).
Other Programmes
In addition, MANAGE organised six
other national workshops on training
need assessment, project formulation of
AEMTP, Broad Based Agricultural
Extension, consultancy and yet another
on farmers' participation in agricultural
extension and rsearch, with 104 par-
ticipants. See Annex-4 (G).
Comparative Progress
Overall, during 1992-93, MANAGE
conducted 59 training programmes with

1154 participants. The level of par-
ticipants ranged from Secretaries and
Directors of State Departments, Direc-
tors of Research/Extension of Agricul-
ture Universities, and the Agriculture
Extension Officers at the block level.
This compares favourably with 45
programmes and 817 participants in
1991-92 and 20 programmes with 437
participants in 1990-91.
Another highlight of MANAGE train-
ing programmes is that nearly 30% of
these programmes are off-campus. Of
the 59 programmes conducted during
1992-93 17 were at MANAGE,
Hyderabad and remaining 42 were con-
ducted off-campus all over the country.

 ill. RESEARCH STUDIES
In accordance with its mandate,
MANAGE has taken up research
projects in the past to study crucial issues
and field problems in the transfer of
technology and extension management.
Accordingly, several research projects
such as the profile of extension person-
nel, their motivational factors, etc. were
undertaken by MANAGE. Several of
these studies were farmed out to other
institutions/consultants while a few were
taken up in-house. At the beginning of
1992-93, 14 such research projects were
in progress. During the year, four
studies were completed and their find-
ings are being used in training program-
mes. The remaining studies are under
progress. Brief details of the completed
studies are given below.
1. Performance Indicators of the
Functioning of Re-organised Sys-
tem of Extension
The study was done by National In-
stitute of Rural Development (NIRD)
with a view to identify the performance
indicators for re-organised extension
system and identify the critical in-
dicators that effect performance. The_
study was done in eight districts of Kar-
nataka. The findings show that the Prin-
cipal Agricultural Officer and ADA's
played an important role in institutional
training as well as reorienting the exten-
10
sion personnel while the SMSs did not
have adequate technical background.
On the other hand, the operational
mechanism of ZRAC, monthly
workshops and fortnightly trainings
showed satisfactory performance. The
over all sysfems impact was not achieved
because of the deficiencies in the cutting
edge level of agricultural systems.
2. Case Studies on Management of
Agricultural Development Sys-
tems
This study was also undertaken by the
Extension Transfer of Technology
(ETOT), faculty of NIRD. This study
examines three different institutional
structures in the context of providing
comprehensive extension manage-
ment at the grossroot level. The three
organisation models studies are the
corporate model of Coffee Board, the
cooperative model of Andhra Pradesh
Cooperative Oilseeds Federation and
the bureaucratic model of T & V sys-
tem. The study found that in terms of
parameters of supporting the agricul-
tural development through efficient
management of research, extension,
input management, marketing, etc.
The cooperative management model
is the most suited to achieve results. ,\
 3. Development of Software Manage-
ment of Oilseeds Production
Programme
l workers which can play a key role in the
i,t, This study was undertaken by a Consult-
ant appointed within MANAGE. The
study developed a PERT/CPM Chart
for the management of Oilseeds
Production Programme, from the mo-
ment it is approved by the Government
of India to the last step of implementa-
tion. This has considerable practical
value for Project Management of the
Oilseeds Development Programme.
MANAGE proposes to disseminate the
product of this study by converting it
into a Computer-based Project
Management System. ~7

4. Development of a Shelf of Per-
sonality Profiles of Village Exten-
sion Functionaries
r
'- This study was undertaken by CBOD
faculty of NIRD. The main objective of
the project was to make an assessment
of the Block and Village Level Exten-
sion Workers with regard to their per-
sonality and related aspects and to find
out their prospects of succeeding an Ex-
tension Officers and remaining satisfied
with the job. The study was taken up in
five states selecting two districts in each
state. The study revealed a large degree
of dissatisfaction due to hierarical na-
ture of organisation structure, lack of
facilities and suppport systems, indif-
ferent attitude of supervisory officers to
the problems of field workers, etc. The
11
study also suggested that personality ap-
praisal should be given more importance
at the time of recruitment of extension
success of the programme. It also sug-
gested that opportunities for personality
development and making the job con-
tent more interesting will help in keep-
ing the motivation up. ,
'·
New Research Studies
During 1992-93, MANAGE took a
policy decision that its future research
effort should fulfil any of the following
three objectives:
a) that the research findings should
be throw up policy options for con-
sideration by Government of
India/State Governments;
b) that the research outcome should
have quicked easy practical and ap-
plicability to improve manage-
ment/technical efficiency of
research/extension personnel; and
c) that the research project should be
of direct relevance and benefit to
MANAGE training and consult-
ancy programmes.
Accordingly three new research studies
were initiated during 1992-93. These
are discussed below.
 1. Farmers' Participatory Study
The Ministry of Agriculture commis-
sioned MANAGE to undertake a Re-
search Study on how research/extension
linkages can be further strengthened
and made more responsive and respon-
sible to farmers. The study was tc
develop one or more models of re-
search-extension linkages that are more
farmer- participatory and farmer-driven
and would be relevant to different types
uf ugrlcullUrul t;lluullum; iu lhe euu1111y.
MANAGE appointed four consultants
and the Director, MANAGE coor-
dinated this study.
The consultants studied research and
extension systems within the country
and abroad. The study spanned eight
states for field data collection using dif-
ferent interactive techniques like PRA,
Semi-structured interviews, group dis-
•I cussions, etc. with scientists, extension
officers and farmers. It also studied suc-
cessfu I experiments in farmer-par-
ticipatory research-extension systems in
the public, cooperatrive, private, cor-
porate & NGO sectors in the country.
MANAGE also involved 20-25 top
scientists and administrators of the
country to give intellectual guidance and
direction to the team of consultants.
The study began in Janaury 1993 and
was expected to be completed by mid-
April 1993. As on 31.3.1993, the study
had progressed on schedule and would
12
be completed by the due date (The study
was actually completed by 20.4.1993.).
2. Fertilizer Management Study
It has generally been observed that fer-
tilizer recommendations are made in
nutrient terms. Further, these recom-
mendations are generally based on
average soil and moisture regime for
each crop in a given agro-ecological
zone. Technically, there is a great need
lu fiuti luue dut.;agti teeuHHHemlulium_;
on the basis of soil tests, source and
availability of water and the type and
duration of different varieties of a crop.
Further, conversion of recommenda-
tions from NPK into products can lead
to a range of bewildering combinations.
A literature review indicated that there
was no authentic study available to
evaluate these options of product com-
binations on technical and economic
considerations.
MANAGE has, therefore, undertaken
this research to study first different prac-
tical combinations of soil, moisture and
plant characteristics under various agro-
ecological conditions for 15 major crops;
and secondly, to identify four or five
product combinations that are most ap-
propriate for each situation. The end
product of this study would be a ready
reckoner which can be easily used by
. research scientists, extension
functionaries and even farmers.
MANAGE has commissioned Farm and
Rural Science Foundation, Hyderabad, ')
to undertake this research projec(at a
cost of Rs.3 lakhs. The time fram·e for
the study is up to end of December,
1993. As on 31st March, 1993, the
project was proceeding on schedule and
would be completed by December,
1993.
3. Training Infrastructure Study
The Ministry of Agriculture has, over
the years, set up MANAGE, Advance
Centres of Training, Extension Educa-
tion Institutes. The State Agricultural
Universities and Departments have
their own training infrastructure for
agriculture extension. At the Govern-
ment of India level, it has been felt that
there is need for greater coordination
among these institutes for optimum
utilisation of their intellectual and finan-
cial resources and make the training
more relevant and topical to the re-
search and extension needs of the field
functionaries. It was, therefore, desired
by the Ministry of Agriculture that
13
MANAGE should undertake a detailed
study of these training institutions
regarding their physical, financial, tech-
nical and training aspects. MANAGE
has appointed three consultants for this
project. The consultants bagan work in
April, 1993. they have made extensive
field visits to several states and con-
ducted workshops to get an under-
standing of the emerging agricultural
research and extension scenario in the
country and the expected role of these
training institutions and the kind of
training programmes they run or ought
to run. The study is expected to be com-
pleted by October, 1993. The cost for
this study is expected to be Rs.3.5 lakhs.
A statement of the ongoing research
studies as on 31st March, 1993 is given
inAnnex-6.
One of the important support activities
for management training, research and
consultancy is the establishment of an
in-house informatioQ. collection and
processing net-work with Library,
 IV. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Documentation, Computers and Audio-
Viusal systems. MANAGE has been
very sensitive to the need for this sup-
port service and has taken several steps
to set up a state-of-the-art information
net-work. MANAGE already has a well
equipped audio visual library, office
automation through computers, a small
but high quality library and computer-
based documentation centre.
MANAGE has assigned the following
three aims for this network :-
a) provide technical support through
information collection, processing
and analysis to MANAGE faculty
for their research, consultancy and
training efforts.
b) design innovative training
programmes for researchers and
extension managers on the latest
techniques of information & com-
pute;- technology application in
agriculture.
c) produce software packages, publi-
cations, audio-visuals, etc. which of
practical utility and relevance to re-
search scientists, extension
managers, policy makers and
MANAGEfaculty to meet their in-
formation and technical needs.
14
MANAGE has taken up several innova-
tive programmes to strengthen its infor-
mation and documentation services and
relate them directly to extension
management and training needs of the
agricultural universities and state
departments. These are discussed
below:
1. Interactive Computer Video Based
Training (I(,VI') Project
Audio visual aids have been used in
training for a long time. In the recent
past, training technology has been
moving towards a multi-media approach
in which computers, graphics, audio and
video are effectively combined to create
a teaching-learning situation. When a
learner interacts with the multi-media
system through probes and prompts, the
absorption by the learner is quicker and
longer lasting. In 1991, Government of
India sanctioned a pilot project for
MANAGE to develop ICVT hardware
and software capability to develop
multi-media based trarnrng
prograqmmes. The project has an out-
lay of Rs.1.56 crores and is funded by the
World Bank. The CMC, another
public-sector undertaking was ap-
pointed as the Consultant to develop
courseware for two training program-
mes one on Rainfed Rice and the other
on Watershed Management in Rainfed
Areas.
Under the project, an ICVT lab with 10
multi-media learning stations would be
established at MANAGE. MANAGE
professionals would be trained in cour-
seware developoment and maintenance
of the ICVT lab. The CMC is expected
to develop the two coursewares on
rainfed rice and watershed development
equivalent to 75 class-room lecture ses-
sions which would cover the entire
gamut of the two topics. The project
was originally expected to be completed
by October, 1993.
During the year 1992-93, the basic les-
son plan documents for the courseware
development were approved by
MANAGE and detailed multi-media
scripts are being produced. The techni-
cal content of the two topics was got
approved from a panel of experts who
were invited to a workshop on each sub-
ject in October/November, 1992. The
Purchase Committee constituted for the
hardware configuration and equipment
finalised its recommendations. A global
tender, as per World Bank procedures
was called in December, 1992. The
equipment is likely to be supplied by
September 1993.
Due to the initial problems in the scope
of the courseware and the change in
methodology from information transfer
to problem-solving, there was delay in
the finalisation of the technical content.
15
Even collection of data posed consider-
able problems as several sources had to
be accessed to get the correct, accurate
and up-date technical information. By
the end of the year, the project was well
underway and running smoothly and is
likely to be completed by September,
1994.
2. Computer Based Expert System
Another innovative project taken up by
MANAGE has been to introduce
Level-5 expert sys tern which can be used
as a training tool and also has direct
practical application by research scien-
tists and extension workers. On this
computer based expert system,
MANAGE has taken up a project to
develop a prototype of a Crop Doctor
for rice. The objective of the project is
to build up complete symptomatic diag-
nostic capability in the system for all
important pests and diseases of rice
crop. The user only has to supply the
symptoms noticed on the crop and the
system will be able to interactively elicit
more informationn for diagnosis and
provide curative and preventive
measures. In this expert system, com-
puter graphics, digitised pictures and
text would be used following a "Decision
Tree" logic.
MANAGE acquired the system from
NIIT, Hyderabad, at a cost of Rs.0.45
lakhs which included the development
of the prot?type of Crop Doctor for rice
as well as training of MANAGE com-
puter professionals in not only running
the expert system but also developing
new programmes on their own. By the
end of March, 1993, the system had been
delivered and installed. The computer
professionals of NIIT and MANAGE
are now interacting with agricultural
scientists to develop the "Crop Doctor'
software which is likely to be completed
by September, 1993.
LIBRARY
Because of space constraint, MAN AGE
has deliberately moved slowly for ac-
quiring a large number of books and
publications. At present, the library has
over 2,500 documents including 219 ac-
quired through purchases and an equal
number received gratis.
Data Base : The library catalogue has
been developed as a data base using
Micro CDC/ISIS softiware. This data
base includes all the documents in
MANAGE library. In addition it has the
following:
a) A data base of Indian Agricultural
Statistics.
b) A data base of projects sponsored
by International Development
Agencies received from IDRC,
Canada.
c) A CD-ROM data base on tropical
agricultural and rural development
with over 80,000 abstracts.
16
Documentation and Publications
During the year, MANAGE undertook
an Information needs survey with par-
ticipants coming to MANAGE and
NIRD courses to identify its thrust of
future activities in the field of documen-
tation and publications. The twin objec-
tives of the survey were to support
training, research and extension ac-
tivities of MANAGE as well as increas-
ing awareness and interest amongst
policy-makers, resean.:h st.:,ienlists, ad-
ministrators, extension workers, train-
ing institutes, NGOs and farmers about
the latest thinking and developments in
the field of agricultural extension, tech-
nology and management. Based on the
above survey, it was decided to under-
take the following activities on a regular
basis.
a) Bring out a bi-monthly newsletter
entitled "MANAGE Bulletin"
which would have articles of inter-
est to Extension Managers along
with information about MANAGE
training, research and consultancy
activities.
b) Bring out a monthly documenta-
tion entitled "Extension Digest"
which would give abstracts of pub-
lished articles from various nation-
al and international sources which
are of topical interest and
relevance to Indian conditions and
meeting the specific needs of the
client groups identified above.
 /
c) Meet adhoc demands for
documentation, reports, extracts,
etc. to support MANAGE faculty
in their training, research and con-
sultancy efforts.
During the year 1992-93, the first
"MANAGE Bulletin" was published in
October 1992. Upto 31st March, 1993,
two MANAGE Bulletins have been
published. Similarly, the first "Exten-
sion Digest" was published in December
*******
17
1992 and upto 31st March, 1993, four
issues (Extension Digests) have been
published. MANAGE also produced a
literature review of farmer- par-
ticipatory extension systems across the
world which was used by the farmer par-
ticipatory research study team as a back-
ground material for their study.
MANAGE also published a Moninotor-
ing and Evaluation guide to NWDPRA
which is a joint publication of
MANAGE and NIRD.
 V. MANAGE CAMPUS
Since its inception, MANAGE has been
located in the NIRD Campus, first as a
limb of NIRD, and since 1987, as an
autonomous institution. NIRD &
MANAGE have a common Director
General which has facilitated
MANAGE to use logistical support of
hostels, class-rooms, office space, library
and even computer lab of NIRD. How-
ever, in 1990, MANAGE acquired 16
hectares of land on lease from APAU in
an adjacent site. In the MANAGE sub-
project, sanctioned by the World Bank,
MANAGE campus has been sanctioned
at an original cost of Rs.518.90 lakhs.
There was initial delay in finalising the
consulting architect and approval of
campus lay-out and architectural
designs. However, these initial teething
troubles were overcome by July/August,
1992. The approval of the Building
Committee for the lay out and architec-
ture was taken in July, 1992. The Execu-
tive Council in its meeting on 29th
September, 1992 approved the tenders
after being cleared by the World Bank.
Finally the work was let out on 1st
November, 1992 to M/s S R C Private
Limited at a cost of Rs.532 lakhs. By the
end of March, 1993 theescavation of the
foundations was completed and struc-
tural work had commenced. It is ex-
18
pected that the campus would be ready
for use by September, 1994.
Absence of its own physical infrastruc-
ture has been a major constraint for
MANAGE to pursue some important
training activities. MANAGE would
like to develop its own banner training
programmes which would be relatively
longer than its current training courses.
Another constraint has been filling up of
a large number of posts of faculty and
other support staff due to severe con-
straint on accommodation. Library and
Documentation services have also been
considerably affected.
The Government of India has given a
clear mandate to MANAGE at the time
of setting it up. MANAGE gave to itself
a mission of being among the best
management institutions in the field of
Agriculture Extension, not only in the
country but internationally. MANAGE
is now in the process of building a vision
of how to achieve this mission. While
human, and financial resources are in
the process of being developed, it is the
physical infrastructure of its own cam-
pus that will finally help MANAGE to
realise its mission.
