Market led extension
Market-led extension focuses on identifying customer needs before offering services. It is demand-driven, client-oriented, and aims to provide high returns for farmers. Agricultural extension personnel play key roles like conducting SWOT analyses of markets, organizing farmer groups, establishing marketing linkages, and acquiring market intelligence. Challenges include the large size of extension systems, integrating information technology, diverse farm conditions, and improving market intelligence and extension reforms. Effective market-led extension produces based on demand, works with efficient farmer groups, uses various market information sources, and improves communication within marketing channels. Reforms are needed to empower farmers with market knowledge and provide competitive marketing options and infrastructure investments.
Privatization of extension in india
The document discusses the privatization of agricultural extension services. It begins by providing context on the traditional public funding and delivery of extension, and how private and voluntary sectors have increasingly challenged this monopoly since the 1980s. Chile was the first country to test privatized extension services in 1978 as part of economic reforms. The document then discusses private extension models and services provided, as well as some advantages like increased efficiency and accountability, and disadvantages like potentially hampering free information flow. It also outlines challenges like addressing subsistence farmers and women in the rural workforce. Overall, the document examines the shift toward private extension internationally and in India.

Farm school :
“Farm school is a field where latest technology was demonstrated to progressive and interested farmers who undergo training for a certain period of time. Farm schools help in speedy dissemination and adoption of technologies through training of progressive farmers on the latest production technology.”
Contract farming
Contract farming was first introduced in Taiwan in 1895 and later in India by PepsiCo in 1927 for tomato and potato cultivation. It involves an agreement between farmers and processing/marketing firms where farmers produce and supply agricultural products at predetermined prices. The objectives of contract farming include achieving consistent quality, regular supply, improved produce quality, and stabilized prices. It provides benefits to farmers such as assured markets, price stability, access to inputs and credit, while companies benefit from secured raw material supply and long-term planning ability. Common models of contract farming in India include bipartite agreements between farmers and companies, tripartite agreements including a third party, and quadpartite agreements involving four parties.
Presentation on cyber extension
Private extension involves agricultural advisory services provided by private sector entities as an alternative to public extension. It aims to reduce the economic burden on governments and increase efficiency. While it may benefit commercial farmers, concerns exist that only commercial farmers and certain technologies would be supported. Different countries have experimented with various private extension models including voucher systems, gradual privatization, and user-pay criteria. In India, private extension is provided through organizations like agricultural consultants, farmers associations, KVKs, cooperatives, NGOs, private firms, mass media, ICT tools, and private banks. Cyber extension uses ICT and online networks to deliver agricultural content remotely, saving time and resources. Important cyber extension tools include email, telnet, FTP

Active Strokes: Coherent Line Stylization for Animated 3D Models
These slides presents a method for creating coherently animated line drawings that include strong abstraction and stylization effects. These effects are achieved with active strokes: 2D contours that approximate and track the lines of an animated 3D scene. Active strokes perform two functions: they connect and smooth unorganized line samples, and they carry coherent parameterization to support stylized rendering. Line samples are approximated and tracked using active contours ("snakes") that automatically update their arrangment and topology to match the animation. Parameterization is maintained by brush paths that follow the snakes but are independent, permitting substantial shape abstraction without compromising fidelity in tracking. This approach renders complex models in a wide range of styles at interactive rates, making it suitable for applications like games and interactive illustrations.

Millets
Millets are a group of highly nutritious grains that were traditionally a staple food for many rural Indians. They provide more protein, fiber, and micronutrients than rice and wheat but have been replaced by those grains due to government policies promoting rice and wheat. Reviving the cultivation and consumption of millets could help address India's growing burden of diet-related diseases while supporting farmers. Millets are easy to incorporate into meals and recipes as a substitute for rice in dishes like upma, pongal, idli, dosa, and more. Their slow digestion makes them ideal for diabetics and those seeking stable blood sugar levels.
Millet
Millet is a group of small-seeded grasses that are widely grown as cereal crops around the world, especially in developing countries in Asia and Africa. Millet is favored for its high productivity and ability to grow in dry, high temperature conditions with a short season. While millets are grown in many places, their origin is likely in tropical western Africa where the greatest diversity exists today. Millet was an important prehistoric crop in many societies before the rise of other grains like rice.

Integrating crop and livestock in smallholder production systems_Dr Pascal Ny...
Dr. Pascal Nyabinwa discusses integrating crop and livestock farming in smallholder production systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. Smallholder farmers currently face challenges of population growth, climate change, and food insecurity. Integrated crop-livestock systems can help meet increasing demand for food by 2050 by using crop and livestock byproducts as inputs for each other. However, challenges include low nutrient content of crop residues as animal feed and nutrient losses from manure. Establishing effective forage seed systems is key to supporting sustainable crop-livestock integration, but current systems in Rwanda are informal with gaps in quality and quantity. Improved investment, policies, and technologies are needed to realize the benefits of integrated systems.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Extension strategies for popularizing millet
- 1. Ms.Stella Mariem, Faculty, Dept of Food Technology, College of Dairy and Food Science Technology, MPUAT,Udaipur EXTENSION STRATEGIES FOR POPULARIZING MILLET
- 2. INTRODUCTION India has a rich resource base both in terms of farmers’ varieties and laboratory produced cultivators of millets in India. While, admittedly it may not be much of a panacea in the Indo-Gangetic plains, millions of poor Indians in the hostile arid and semi-arid zones of India would stand to benefit. With eight per cent of the global biodiversity, India has a rich genetic resource base that, if appropriately managed and used, could be a great asset.
- 3. Millets are grown in arid, semi-arid or rather marginal conditions of soil fertility and moisture. Nevertheless, they are considered as rain fed crops and could be of great help to large localised population as staples or even reserve crops in marginal areas. They are a proven source of energy and protein for millions of human population, additionally providing fodder for cattle population
- 4. Millets have a short growing season, a low moisture demand and can play a significant role in a mixed cropped system. Characteristic ecosystems and climatic condition conducive for growth of three major groups 54.89 lakh hectars of land under bajra cultivation with production of 45.67 lakh tonnes and yeild of 832kg per hectar. 55% of the total millet production in India is in Rajasthan.
- 6. Types of millets and their varietal diversity
- 7. PRODUCTION CONSTRAINTS Low spread of improved varieties or hybrids. Poor field establishment. Poor weed control Lack of adoption of agronomical practices Recurrent droughts Negligible area under irrigation (only 5-7%)
- 8. SOLUTIONS Grow early maturing and disease resistant hybrids like RHB 121, RHB 127, HHB 67,GHB 538 Intercropping of bajra with cluster bean or cow pea or green gram in 2:1 ratio Weed management with hand weeding, hoeing or atrazine. Popularising millet-based food has been something that CSOs had engaged in but it is only serious policy support by the government that can make it a value-added product for India’s food security
- 9. Integrated Cereal Development Programme in Coarse Cereal based Cropping Systems Areas (ICDP-Coarse Cereal) It is expected to include frontline demonstration, assistance to farmers for improved package of practices, supply of quality seeds and resource conservation technologies. Currently, 25 millet manufactures and suppliers are known to be operative.The government is to be promoted for millet cultivation and provide an incentive of Rs 5,000 per acre for cultivating millets.
