This State has lot of diversity and some pockets have shown high success through diversification towards high value crops. There is scope for further promotion of high value enterprises in small pockets at many places in the state but they require knowledge, skill, technology and market access. Some of you can try organizing farmers in a FPO like organization Z to grow high value crops under your managerial and technical advice. A new concept of paid farms service (tractors, threshers, sprayers, other farm machinery) to small holders is now emerging, like UBER and OLA.

I will suggest to PJTSAU to develop strong collaboration with private sector. Experts from private sector should be involved in prioritizing research, teaching and commercialization of technology. As the public extension and public employment are shrinking, we need to explore ways and means to attract private sector to play a strong role in all aspects of agriculture. This will be best done if SAUs partner with private sector for technical backstopping and supply of technical manpower suitable for private sector employment.
