| General note |
Staffing Agricultural Information systems focus on the manpower strategies required for exploiting our agricultural knowledge resources. Public investment in agriculture research runs into millions of rupees. Optimum utilization of the knowledge so generated, necessitates quick access to and speedy dissemination of the information generated by research.
