Notes:
AgREN Network Paper No. 128. 10 pages, Adike Pathrike is a monthly farm magazine catering to cash-crop growers in parts of Karnataka and Kerala. The magazine covers a wide range of crops (commercial and subsistence) and farm and houshold management themes. It is 15 years old, is self-supporting, and has established a unique niche for itself, based on a philosophy of farmer participation in the generation of information. This approach is expressed through an insistence on farmer verification of technologies described in the magazine, an adaptive and interative approach to technology, and encouragement of farmer-to-farmer communication, and a counterbalance to government and industry promotional campaigns.

Notes:
Pages 57-63 in V.S. Gupta, Rural press: problems and prospects. Press Institute of India, New Delhi. 78 pages., Reports that there are about 250 farm periodicals published in India, of which about 190 are in Hindi and other regional languages. About 8,000 small newspapers operating in and for the countryside. "Although there are 21 agricultural universities and 33 research institutes of the ICAR, there seems to be a near absence of concern for using farm periodicals as media for transfer for technology."
