Agri-Input Dealers in the country are a prime source of farm information to the farming community, besides the supply of inputs and credit. However, majority of these dealers do not have formal agricultural education. In order to build their technical competency in agriculture and to facilitate them to serve the farmers better, Guru Kashi University (GKU) has launched “One-year Diploma in Agriculture Science” for the input dealers.

Mission

To transform practicing input dealers into para-extension professionals thereby strengthening the agricultural extension system so as to enable these input dealers to serve the farmers better.

Objectives

Orientation of input dealers on location-specific crop production technologies of broad-based agriculture with reference to field problems. Building the capacity of input dealers in efficient handling of Inputs. To impart knowledge about the laws governing regulation of agricultural Inputs. To make input dealers an effective source of farm information at the village level for the farmers.

SCOPE

In India, there are about four lakh practicing agri-input dealers, who are the prime source of farm information to the farming community. The first contact point for majority of farmers is the agri-input dealer. While purchasing different inputs required for farming operations, the farmer naturally tries to find out from the input dealer about the usage of inputs, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, most of these input dealers do not have formal agricultural education. If these input dealers can be shaped as para-extension professionals by providing requisite knowledge, they can professionalize extension services and contribute to bring a paradigm shift in Indian Agriculture. It is in this context, Guru Kashi University (GKU) had designed a one-year diploma course titled “Diploma in Agriculture Science,” which imparts relevant and location-specific agricultural education to equip these input dealers with sufficient knowledge to transform them into para-extension professionals so as to enable them to address the day-to-day problems being faced by the farmers at field level. GKU had launched Diploma program in the year 2016 and so far covered the practicing input dealers of many states in India.

Duration

The program is spread over a period of one Year.
