Privatizing agriculture extension services in India to boost farmer efficiency and access.
Governments, like India, are looking to improve agricultural extension services by involving private organizations to meet farmers' needs for knowledge and skills. This helps public extension services focus on neglected areas. While public extension services still play a major role, they have limitations like being supply-driven and inefficient. Private extension services can supplement and complement public ones, but not replace them entirely. This approach can make the extension system more effective and efficient in India.
