INTERPAKS, Mimeographed, 1981. Paper prepared for the Development Studies Association Annual Conference, September 10-12, 1981. 9 p., Briefly examines the relation between agricultural extension innovation and social change. Discusses the importance of extension organizations listening to their clients more carefully. Notes the difficulty and complexity of identifying induced change or 'development'. Illustrates the effect social change may have on extension-related development work. Cases include sale of cocoa by New Guinea growers involving kinship systems and changing concept of inheritance and the effect of access to new irrigation systems on social change in two south Indian villages.

James F. Evans Collection, Explores the long-term implications of the diffusion of agricultural innovations. Data from a sample of 228 Indian farmers were collected in order to determine the effects of differential acceptance of improved agricultural technology on changes in equality of reward distribution over time. Shows that inequality increases over time with respect to gross agricultural production. But lagging behind in adoption of agricultural technology has to be answered in the negative. Notes that inequalities in both level and standard of living are reduced over time. Early failure to adopt agricultural technology does not seem to lead to disadvantage. Discusses the results in terms of the assumptions made about categories of adopters in diffusion research, and in terms of equity assumptions with regard to technological change. (original)

Hyderabad, India : National Institute of Rural Development, 1981. p. 49-68 (Paper presented at the National Workshop on Management of Transfer of Farm Technology; 1979 November 19-24; National Institute of Rural Development, Hyderabad, India), Discusses the production dissemination and utilization of technology and observes that the natural as well as cultural environment affect technology. Credits the Indian agricultural research system as the major determinant of productivity change in dissemination of agricultural research. Concedes that determinants of the adoption are client orientation, environment, the technology itself, and communication variables. Concludes that technology transfer has been strangled by various non-technological factors.

Discusses deficiencies in traditional extension services, details of the organizational structure of the T&V systems which overcome such deficiencies, and the method used to monitor and evaluate T&V extension projects.

Notes:
INTERPAKS, In: Management of transfer of farm technology, Hyderabad, India: National Institute of Rural Development, 1981. p. 106-116., Gives several illustrations to lend authenticity to the big and small in agriculture technology development and transfer. A key factor in transferring technology to, and evolving a comprehensive policy for India's agricultural sector is that agriculture is privately owned on the one hand and a state subject on the other. Transfer of technology is a good deal less simplistic than the generation and dissemination explanation. Several linkages at different levels are implied. Suggests areas for improvement in extension such as better use of available media for group or mass communication, training of functionaries, the need to reach women and youth, and a more democratic administration. The author sees a definite link between individual farmers and the groups they constitute, particularly in the area of agricultural practices. Concludes by calling for application of 'extension technology' to realize the potential of the extension system.
