INTRODUCTION:

The District Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Centres (DAATTC) were established in the State of Andhra Pradesh by Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University in every district with objective of transferring farm related improved technologies to the farmers. The DAATTC, peddapuram was established in the year 1998 and located at Agricultural Research Station Premises, Peddapuram, East Godavari district.Objectives / Mandate:Assess and refine the technology developed by the research scientists and their suitability to different farming situations.Assess the potentials of the district by developing database in order to exploit district resources, develop action plan in cooperation with line departments.Conduct field diagnostic visits to identify the field problems and provide scientific solutions.Organise Kisan Melas in coordination with line departments.Extend the scientific expertise to the line departments in conduct of training programmes to officials, farmers and input agencies.Organize T&V bi-monthly work shops.Establish linkages with research institutes and other district units located in A.P.Assist and implement the RAWE Programme, internship programme for Agriculture, Veterinary and Home Science students under ANGRAU respectively.Maintain information centre at each district head quarter in cooperation with the line departments in the district.Supply need based scientific/popular information to the line departments for their printing, multiplication and distribution to the farmers.Coordinate with All India Radio, Television and print media for transmission of needed agricultural information in the district.·  Implement any other extension programme that may be taken up by the University from time to time in coordination with line departments.
