Re: Agriculture Technology Management Agency Meaning
As you have asked about the meaning of Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA), I am giving you information about it, ATMA is a society of key stakeholders involved in agricultural activities for sustainable agriculture development in the district. It is a focal point for integrating Research and Extension activities and decentralizing day-to- day management of the public Agricultural Technology System (ATS). It is a registered society responsible for technology dissemination at the district level. As a whole the ATMA would be a facilitating agency rather than implementing Agency. The funds allotted for ATMA includes Establishment of ATMA office at district headquarters, strengthening of line departments by providing infrastructural facilities, establishing FIACs. With the minimum budget, ATMA can introduce or demonstrate some of the programs as innovative model, which can be replicated by farmers’ organizations Objectives: The objectives of ATMA are To strengthen research – extension – farmer linkages To provide an effective mechanism for co-ordination and management of activities To increase the quality and type of technologies being disseminated Salient Features of ATMA: Creating Farmer Advisory Committee to improve feed back Using NGOs to organize farmers Encouraging private sector involvement in technology transfer |
