The National Knowledge Commission organized a workshop on research and extension services in agriculture on 15th January 2007, inviting practitioners, writer-activists, government officials, experts and researchers in the field. The workshop discussed the current nature of agricultural research and extension, the reasons for its rapid deterioration and irrelevance in a changing scenario, and measures that may be adopted to ameliorate the situation. Its purpose was to identify areas of intervention by the NKC.
