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. |
