The Directory of Agricultural Technology Information Centres ( ATICs)

By N.Sandhya Shenoy

Introduction

The Agricultural Technology Information Centres (ATICs) are established to provide greater coordination and intensive interaction between the researchers and technology users beyond individual units of research institutions in contributing towards the dissemination of information.  Each ATIC  will serve as a "Single Window System" with an objective to help Farmers and other stake holders such as Farmer-Entrepreneurs, Extension workers, Development agencies, Non-Government Agencies( NGOs) and private sector organisations to provide solutions to their location - specific problems in agriculture and make available all the technological information along with technology inputs and products for testing and use by them. The ATICs need to be demand driven and well integrated with research and financially sustainable, lay greater emphasis on location-specific and system based  sustainable technologies.

Specifically, the ATICs provide  

• diagnostic services for soil testing, plant and livestock health, 

• supply research products such as seeds, planting materials, livestock breeds, poultry strains, fish seed, processed products etc., emerging from an institution for testing and adaptation by various clientele, 

• disseminate information through published literature, audio - visual aids and electronic media, 

• provide an opportunity to institutions for resource generation through sale of their technologies, and,

• support the district level Agricultural Technology Management Agencies( ATMAs) in technology dissemination wherever they are available.
