Private and cooperative sectors will thrive in agricultural extension services, improving productivity levels.
The Union government should allow other sectors, especially private and cooperative, in agricultural extension services to overcome some of the ills plaguing the sector, according to P Chengal Reddy, chief adviser, Confederation of Indian Farmers Association (CIFA).
Indian agriculture sector is suffering due to low productivity, harvest especially of perishable goods going waste and at least 60 per cent of the area under cultivation being rain-fed.
