A substantial number of research Projects under various programmes and funding modes operate on farmers’ fields (on-farm trials, FLD trials) at representative locations of three major agro-climatic regions of the Stale and also at other zones across West Bengal. Several experiments arc conducted in a scientist-farmer participatory manner. Highlights of the ongoing research activities and their achievements during the period under reference are depicted below
[edit] Directorate of Extension Education
The Directorate of Extension Education, in the Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, was created only in 1994 through upgradation of the “Field Extension Wing”, which took care of mainly the farm advisory services among a few villages, surrounding the headquarter campus of the Viswavidyalaya. The upgradation attempt, though initiated quite late, was made in line with the mandate of the SAUs to organize ‘first line extension” activities to complement their research. and educational role, as well as to strengthen the efforts of the state extension machinery towards transferring proven and tested technological options for increased production and productivity. However, the manpower, as well as the infrastructural conditions, corresponding to the enlargement of the mandated roles and responsibilities assumed by the Directorate, consequent to its upgradation, continued to remain inadequate.
