HIERACHY OF ADP SYSTEM

8. Setup of Agricultural Development
Bureau : A Case Study in Kerala
Setting up of ADB Head Office
• Total Population:
• Population in Agriculture:
• We divide 14 districts into 6 zones and, as shown in
figure, establish one ADB head office for each zone.
• Hence, the agricultural population is evenly distributed
in the six zones.
Setting up of ADB Units
• For each ADB head office 5 ADB units should be there.
• ADB unit’s range should be decided according to the
agricultural population in each district.
• ADB units function as per the rules and regulations in
the strategy explained in earlier slides.
• After successful implementation in Kerala, the strategy
can be implemented throughout the country.

9. Planning
• Survey of Agricultural land &
collection of agricultural statistics
• Planning organizational hierarchy
• Developing ADB Head Office
• per five ADB unit
• Research Centre in one head office
as explained above
• Provide technological assistance
• Coordination with ADB unit
• Deciding demand & supply of Agro
Products
• According to Farmer Population
division of Agro land & assigning
ADB units per particular fraction of
land.
Developing Infrastructure
• Setting up ADB Head offices
• Existing R&D centers should merge
and setting up new if required
• Building offices by the funds which
is given for Submerged schemes
• Setting up ADB units
• Existing local offices and Govt.
shops are included
• Present storage godowns are used
and building new storage if
required
• Supply of Machinery and tools
depend of type of farming
• Seven Departments should be set
up as explained above
Recruitment
• Specialist Officers in Agriculture,
Technology and Management
recruited
• First recruitment for Central unit is
done then recruitment for ADB units
should be done.
• For each seven departments
different skill set and different field
of people required.
• Large number of vacancies for
clerks, drivers, shopkeepers,
accountants are evolved
• Complete man force according to
the Organizational Hierarchy should
be recruited.
STEPS INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING THE SYSTEM

10. Challenges
• Raising funds
• Developing Infrastructures
• Merging of current schemes will be
difficult
• Transfer of employees from present
schemes to ADB
• Allocation of Resources
• Large initial Investment
• Giving Boost to new Technology
• High level management
Advantages of Present solution
• Huge estimate of increasing in productivity
• Removal of farmer exploitation
• Removal of Middlemanship
• Reduce in wastage of crops and food
• Technological development occurs
• Security and insurance for farmers
• Huge Estimate of Profit for both Govt. and
Farmers
• Creating huge Employment options
• Enriching soil with particular use of fertilizers
• Innovation in the field of agriculture
• Removal of poverty of famers
• Ensuring National food security
• Increasing quality of food
• Export in agriculture will be more as
Production is more
• Synchronization of difference Govt. Schemes
are possibly done
• Effective utilization and distribution of
resources
Disadvantages
• Huge investment is required
• If present schemes are not merged
then it is very difficult to continue
with this scheme
• Miscommunication between different
department is very necessary
otherwise system will fall
• It is very difficult to change mentality
of farmer about the new techniques
as they stick to the old approaches
