AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
IN STEPPING UP AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION, the
importance of disseminating latest scientific information and
imparting instructions in the latest methods of cultivation cannot
be overemphasised. From this standpoint the existence of such
facilities in the district itself is necessary and will thus help
solve the difficulties of local farmers. In Kasaba Bavada is run the
Shri Shahu Agricultural School where training in all aspects of
agriculture is imparted. Since 1956, one Extension Training Centre
is also run in Kasaba Bavada to meet the increased demand of trained
personnel for National Extension Service Schemes. There are two
research stations-one at Radhanagari for evolving suitable strains
of paddy for this tract and one at Rajputwadi to carry on research
in cultural and manurial practices of sugarcane. The Horticultural
Nursery supplies grafts of various fruit trees and carries on the
work of improving the mango gardens in the former Kolhapur
State. |
