NON-FCRA PROJECT: SCHEME OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT EXTENSION AND TRAINING (TDET) FOR WASTELANDS DEVELOPMENT IN NON-FOREST AREAS!

Objectives:

• To operationalise appropriate, cost effective and proven technologies for development of various categories of wastelands specially problem lands affected by soil erosion, land degradation, salinity, alkalinity, water logging etc.

• To implement location specific pilot project as demonstration models for development of wasteland on a sustainable basis.

• To take up pilot projects for development of wastelands through land based activities including pisciculture, duckery, bee-keeping etc.

• To disseminate research findings about new and appropriate technologies and the application of such technologies for promoting wastelands development.

Procedure for Applying:
