HIERACHY OF ADB SYSTEM
9. Setup of Agricultural Development
Bureau : A Case Study in Kerala
Setting up of ADB Head Office
•Total Population:
•Population in Agriculture:
•We divide 14 districts into 6 zones and, as shown in
figure, establish one ADB head office for each zone.
•Hence, the agricultural population is evenly distributed
in the six zones.
Setting up of ADB Units
•For each ADB head office 5 ADB units should be there.
•ADB unit’s range should be decided according to the
agricultural population in each district.
•ADB units function as per the rules and regulations in
the strategy explained in earlier slides.
•After successful implementation in Kerala, the strategy
can be implemented throughout the country.
10. Planning
•Survey of Agricultural land &
collection of agricultural
statistics
•Planning organizational
hierarchy
•Developing ADB Head Office
•per five ADB unit
•Research Centre in one head
office as explained above
•Provide technological
assistance
•Coordination with ADB unit
•Deciding demand & supply of
Agro Products
•According to Farmer
Population division of Agro
land & assigning ADB units per
particular fraction of land.
Developing
Infrastructure
•Setting up ADB Head offices
•Existing R&D centers should
merge and setting up new if
required
•Building offices by the funds
which is given for Submerged
schemes
•Setting up ADB units
•Existing local offices and
Govt. shops are included
•Present storage godowns are
used and building new
storage if required
•Supply of Machinery and
tools depend of type of
farming
•Seven Departments should
be set up as explained above
Recruitment
•Specialist Officers in
Agriculture, Technology and
Management recruited
•First recruitment for Central
unit is done then recruitment
for ADB units should be done.
•For each seven departments
different skill set and different
field of people required.
•Large number of vacancies for
clerks, drivers, shopkeepers,
accountants are evolved
•Complete man force according
to the Organizational Hierarchy
should be recruited.
STEPS INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING THE SYSTEM
11. Challenges
• Raising funds
• Developing Infrastructures
• Merging of current schemes will be
difficult
• Transfer of employees from present
schemes to ADB
• Allocation of Resources
• Large initial Investment
• Giving Boost to new Technology
• High level management
Advantages of Present solution
• Increase in productivity
• Removal of farmer exploitation
• Removal of Middleman
• Reduction in wastage of crops and food
• Technological development
• Security and insurance for farmers
• Profit for both Govt. and Farmers
• Increasing employment
• Enriching soil with fertilizers and crop
rotation
• Opportunity for research and innovation in
agriculture
• Reduction in Poverty of famers
• Ensuring National food security
• Improve in quality of food
• Rise in export of agricultural products
• Synchronization of different Govt. Schemes
• Effective utilization and distribution of
resources
Disadvantages
• Huge investment is required
• If present schemes are not merged
then it is very difficult to continue
with this scheme
• Miscommunication between different
department is very necessary
otherwise system will fall
• It is very difficult to change mentality
of farmer about the new techniques
as they stick to the old approaches
