Public Private Partnership in Agri-Extension
PPP can provide highly skilled and efficient manpower in agriculture from public sector and on the other hand, private sector has excellent managerial resources.
PPP extension would improve commercialization of technology and make it available at the global level.
The decentralized decision-making in PPP helps in reducing time for commercialization.
Proper budget management and global regulatory expertise are certain advantages of PPP.
PPP in agri –extension can be facilitated through Farmer Producer Organizations

Way Forward
In order to strengthen the linkage between research and extension policies should encourage the research system to deliver research output oriented to the demand side rather than the supply side.
The linkages between research and extension at the state and district levels need to be strengthened via new institutional agreements, linkage mechanisms, and operational procedures.
Policies should also provide incentives for the private and third sectors to actively participate in agricultural research and extension, either individually or in partnership with public service providers
Effective coordination mechanisms need to be in place in order to avoid the replication of initiatives and the consequent inefficient use of resources
