As you have asked about the Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA), I am giving you information about it, check below for the details
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

The ATMA will not encourage any practice or program which, the line departments were already initiated.
With the minimum budget, ATMA can introduce or demonstrate some of the programs as innovative model, which can be replicated by farmers’ organizations
