Project Title : Technology Integration for Doubling Farm Income through Participatory Research and Extension Approaches in Jodhpur District of Rajasthan

Organisation :
Lead Organisation : AU, Jodhpur

Objectives :
1.   To provide technological interventions for enhancing income by addressing prioritized production problems for different micro farming situations and to assess their rate of adoption and impact

2.   To introduce economically viable and socially acceptable agro-based entrepreneurial activities like vegetable and fruit production and post-harvest management for enhancing income through strengthening backward and forward linkages

3.   To build a network of linkages with different entities around the farm households viz., technology institutions, input support systems, market and other agencies for facilitating access of information, technology and marketability of produce for higher returns

4.   To find out the technical, socio-economic and environmental impact in terms of organic carbon, pH, water holding capacity of soil, soil fertility status and water quality of irrigation source in the project to develop a database

5.   To integrate women's participation by initiating special modules for enhancing income, livelihood security and drudgery reduction

6.   To utilize the strength of technology institutions to develop commodity specific contents for knowledge sharing among various stakeholders specially farmers

7.   To identify extrapolation domain for new technology modules in similar environments
