Training & VisitBasic Assumptions
The assumptions with this approach are:
EFS are poorly trained and not up-to-date
![Page 7: Training and visit (T & V) in Agriculture Extension](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/54994937b47959e1298b46e4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Training & VisitBasic Assumptions cont.
less frequent visits and extension contact
management and supervision are inadequate and
two way flow of information between research and extension is weak
![Page 8: Training and visit (T & V) in Agriculture Extension](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/54994937b47959e1298b46e4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Purpose
T & V approach was to ensure that: The extension agents should carry out
extension functions exclusively Extension should be closely linked with the
research Training should be a regular and continuous
process at all levels Work should be time-bound Field and farmer orientation should be
maintained

Training & Visit Cont.Nature of planning
Top-down approach to planning Decisions are taken at the top Production recommendation send
down to farmers for adoption Rural people are usually not involve Farmers problems and challenges
are suppose to be conveyed to SMS by EFS

Training & Visit Cont.Advantages/Strengths of T&V
This system/approach had provided an effective way for improving knowledge and efficiency of the extension staff.
Improvement in extension coverage Fixed schedule of visits to farmers,
which helped farmers to have contact with EFS on the one hand and helped the supervisory staff to know the whereabouts of the EFS

Failures or Weaknesses of T & V
It was a top-down approach (expert know all)
So called expert transfer technology to solve rural people problems
It was also criticized as too rigid in terms of fortnightly visits especially during the slack seasons
![Page 17: Training and visit (T & V) in Agriculture Extension](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/54994937b47959e1298b46e4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Failures or Weaknesses of T & V
![Page 18: Training and visit (T & V) in Agriculture Extension](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/54994937b47959e1298b46e4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Failures or Weaknesses of T & V
Its main focus was on procedural aspects rather than other essential aspects like the message and its dissemination
It is an expensive approach as it involves high level of recurrent expenditure in developing countries like Pakistan & India
![Page 19: Training and visit (T & V) in Agriculture Extension](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/54994937b47959e1298b46e4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Failures or Weaknesses of T & V
It is too labor intensive which a poor country like Pakistan may not be able to afford
This approach did not make effective use of mass media
The selection of CFs was biased as they were not representatives of the resource poor farmers
