26 December 2024, Jodhpur: The Annual Review Meeting of the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Castes (DAPSC) under the Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) was organised today at ICAR-Agricultural Technology Application Research Institute, Zone-II, Jodhpur.
Dr J.P. Mishra, Director, ICAR-ATARI, Zone-II, Jodhpur, emphasized the need to address farmers’ demands and strengthen the role of Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) through targeted interventions. Dr Mishra urged documenting output analysis to highlight the impact of KVKs, in collaboration with ATARI, SAUs, and ICAR Institutions. He also called for the compilation of success stories into case studies to be showcased by 2025, marking ATARI’s 10th anniversary, and stressed a shift from individual to community-centric actions in the scheme.
