Slide 38:38 Besides implementing Seeds Act 1966 on notified kind and varieties, the Seeds (Control) Order 1983 is being used for regulating the marketing of seeds in the state effectively with the help of relevant provisions of EC Act 1955. The vaccum created due to deletion of cotton seed from the list of Essential commodities of EC Act 1955, is filled up by promulgation of a new Act called “ An Act to regulate the supply, distribution, sale and fixation of sale price of cotton seeds and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto” which regulates all cotton seeds including GMOs i.e., Bt cotton, besides takes care of the following aspects (1) Regulation of price (2) Payment of compensation to affected farmers (3) Stringent punishments (4) take care of referral analysis. An administrative programme of Pre-Release Quality Assurance is also enforced since last 3 years to regulate the quality of Bt cotton prior to release To regulate the most important quality parameters i.e., Genetic purity, Bt protein, event analysis, Zygosity test a DNA Fingerprinting lab is established and notified to take up the analysis The Seed Inspectors are trained every year in a special capacity enhancement programme, provided with Seed inspectors kits, Bt express kits and literature on legislation of seed, compendium of notified varieties and seed inspectors manual. SPECIFIC ACHEIVEMENTS OF ANDHRA PRADESH IN SEED QUALITY CONTROL


Slide 39:39 Agricultural Extension – Present Scenario in AP An Agricultural Officer covering 20-30 villages / mandal. Assisted by 1-2 AEOs/ mandal, compared to around 6000 VLWs during CD block period. More focus on regulatory and administrative functions rather than knowledge/skill transfer. Weak research - extension-farmer-market linkages. Poor infrastructural facilities. Inadequate operating resources & financial sustainability.


Slide 40:40 Approach for the XI Five Year Plan on Agricultural Extension. Improved reach-through dedicated manpower Using progressive farmers as resource for better reach. Encouraging CIG/FIG groups and farmers organizations/ federations for extension as well as non farm linkages. Bottom up planning & market orientation. Harnessing synergy of public & private sector.
