INTRODUCTION
The State Agricultural Management & Extension Training Institute, Mashobra is situated at
a distance of 15 Kms from Shimla on Shimla Naldehra road housed in the old heritage
building i.e. Belmount House. SAMETI campus is located in a picturesque hill top of
Craignano surrounded by lush green deodar forests which offer a great opportunity to learn
in calm and learning environment in the backdrop of mighty Himalayas.
The institute catered to the training requirements of extension functionaries since last sixty
years. The Mandate and training modules changed as per the need of the day and the
institute developed with the passage of time. The whole period can be briefly divided into
following phases:
Pre – Green Revolution Phase (1950-mid sixties)
This institute was initially established as Premier Extension Training Center in the year
1953. During this period holistic approach through Community Development Programme
was initiated. Food Security had been a major policy issue in agriculture and the institute
provided trainings on Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal husbandry, Cooperative,
Panchayati Raj, Extension management to rural development functionaries so as to fulfill
the requirements of multipurpose extension worker. Vocational Trainings to rural artisans
were also imparted.
Green Revolution Period
In the year 1971 the centre was taken over by Agriculture Department, which conducted
trainings for village level functionaries of Agriculture, Horticulture and Rural Development
Departments. Short duration courses were also organized for farmers and pre released
defense personnel. The institute provided one year vocational courses under TRYSEM for
self employment generation.
Training and Visit programme was launched in this period and stress was laid to increase
more yield through adoption of new technology and capacity building courses to
agriculture and horticulture extension functionaries were undertaken by the institute to
update their knowledge and enhance capability to promote and disseminate the latest
technology .
Post Green Revolution Period
Green revolution remained focussed to irrigated areas and limited crops. Natural resources
were the limiting factors. The emphasis was laid on water and soil conservation techniques
and Institute provided specific trainings to officials under NWDPRA and USAID project
.Officials were also provided refresher trainings to improve the efficiency in delivery of
technology. On campus as well as off campus Training courses of Farmers were also
conducted to provide technical and managerial skills to Krishak Vikas Sanghs and
watershed team leaders. Since training activities were concentrated on agriculture, the
centre was renamed as Agriculture Extension Training Centre in 1991. Women play a
major role in hill agriculture and the Scheme Women in Agriculture sponsored by GOI was
successfully executed by this institute from 1994 till 1997.
Present era / Need of Reforms
New issues like sustainability, narrow focus, lower remunerative prices, socio economic
inequality, decline in soil fertility, degradation of natural resources, enforced to redesign
strategy and approach in agriculture sector. The need for policies for more diversification,
farming system based approach, farmer centered research and extension, was desired.
These changes obviously required necessary technical as well as managerial skills. In this
paradigm shift this institute was selected to impart trainings in management area .World
bank aided NATP project provided technical as well as financial assistance to upgrade the
institute. The institute was registered under Societies Registration Act 1860 XXI on 27th
Jan
2000 and renamed as State Agricultural Management and Extension Training Institute at
Mashobra Shimla-7 Himachal Pradesh .Institute has completed its thirteen years of journey
as an autonomous body fulfilling the emerging training needs.

Achievements of SAMETI HP in the year 2013-14
The role of the agriculture state departments in
agricultural development has shifted considerably in
recent years. One of the areas where this
reorientation is most noticeable is the control &
organization of input provisions. Majority of the
agriculture inputs like Seeds, pesticides, and
fertilizers are now being distributed by seed &
pesticide dealers and merchants, as compared to the
government that dominated the scene until recently.
Seed production and variety development is no longer
the exclusive domain of the public sector.
Government extension and farm credit programmes
that were often sources of subsidised inputs have been severely curtailed.
On the demand-side, farmers are more familiar with
commercial seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides and are
more likely to be the ones choosing inputs and
deciding how much to use. Population pressure has
led to the intensification of cropping patterns,
generating further demand for purchased inputs.
Crop diversification and technical change have also
contributed to a wider demand for agricultural
inputs.
In the midst of these changes in agricultural input
supply and demand, the issue of input regulation has
attained the utmost importance. Government
involvement in the provision of inputs has been
accompanied by a regulatory role through the various
acts and rules like The Seed Act, 166, Pesticides Act
1972 & Fertilizer Control Orders that registers and
controls the inputs that are available (whether
imported or produced domestically) and monitors the
quality of those products once they are on the market.
Therefore to make the government regulatory
performance effective or useful the agriculture
extension functionaries should be aware of all the
acts and rules and different standards to enforce the
quality supply of inputs to the scenario in the
evolving landscape of agriculture.
In the changing landscape SAMETI gives utmost
importance to the training programmes on the quality
control of inputs and their regulation for the officers
of the state department of agriculture.
Training programmes on Quality Control & Input Management
programmes(Seed, Fertilizer & Plant Protection Materials
One training programme on “Quality
Control of fertilizers ” was organized for the
26 Agriculture officers.
One Training Programme on Quality
Control of Seeds was organized and
attended by 8 seed inspectors of the state..
Two training programmes on seed
certification was organized attended by the
28 agriculture officers including the seed
inspectors .
One training programme on the Quality
control of Plant pRotection Material was
also organized.
One training programme on organic
certification was organized attended by the
10 agriculture officers.
Training programmes Office
Procedures, Departmental Acts &
Finanacial management.
Four training programmes on office
procedures, record keeping, financial
administration and disciplinary proceedings
were organized for officers & ministerial
staff of Deptt of Agriculture toenhance their
capability in administrative works attended
by 105 participants.
Extension programs were originally
conceived as a service to “extend” research-
based knowledge to the rural sector in order
to improve the lives of farmers. Extension
thus included components of technology
transfer, broader rural development goals,
management skills, and nonformal education.
The traditional view of extension in
developing countries was very much focused
on increasing production, improving yields,
training farmers, and transferring technology.
Today’s understanding of extension goes
beyond technology transfer to facilitation,
beyond training to learning, and includes
helping farmers form groups, deal with
marketing issues, and partner with a broad
range of service providers and other
agencies. Agricultural extension can thus be
defined as the entire set of organizations that
support people engaged in agricultural
production and facilitate their efforts to solve
problems; link to markets and other players
in the agricultural value chain; and obtain
information, skills, and technologies to
improve their livelihoods. The training of
extension personnel contributes directly to
the development of human resources within
extension organizations. "Training
programmes are directed towards
maintaining and improving current job
performance, while development
programmes.
Training Programmes on Extension Management & HRD Skills
Two training programmes on Extension
Management & HRD Skills were
conducted for the officers of the
agriculture & allied departments. In total
53 field extension workers were imparted
the trainings.
Capacity building of Newly recruited Departmental officers
Two Induction cum training programmes for newly recruited HEO’s & / were organized to orient
them about the departmental schemes and programmes and their operationalization so as to
increase their efficiency in job performance in the year 2013 -14 in which 45 Officers were trained
at SAMETI.
Training Programmes on Sustainability Issues- Organic farming,
Integrated Nutrient Management and Integrated Pest Management
& Biocontrol . In order to build the capacities of our
extension functionaries and also the
farmers on issues related sustainable
agriculture , SAMETI organized
following training programmes as per
the detail given below:
Two Training programmes on Organic
Farming Certification attended by 27
field functionaries.
One training programme on IPM &
Bio-Control with field visits to the
Biocontrol Laboratories attended by the
23 officers from the department of
agriculture.
One training programme on INM &
Organic Farming attended by 22
Agriculural officers.
One refresher training course for
analysts of the department of
agriculture in collloboration with
Regional Centre for Organic Farming,
Hissar.
Intensification of agriculture through
massive adoption of high yielding
cultivation, increased use of synthetic
inputs like chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, greater exploitation of irrigation
potentiality of surface and ground water
resources and farm mechanization have
largely been responsible for a spectacular
achievement in the food grain production
that we have achieved over past three
decades. Paradoxically however
overexploitation of natural and renewable
resources and indiscriminate and irrational
use of synthetic inputs like inorganic
fertilizers and pesticides in view of
producing more and more from unit piece
of land are being increasingly realized to
seriously impair the ecological balance and
putting the environment in jeopardy.
Today, Iindian agriculture is at the
crossroads as we have simultaneously
ensure higher crop production as well as
take care of our bioresources . Integrated
pest management (IPM),Integrated
nutrition management (INM), organic
farming, low-inputs sustainable
agriculture, and precision agricultural
technologies are potential agricultural
technological systems that provide benefits
in terms of environmental protection,
conservation of non-renewable resources,
improved food quality and the
reorientation of agriculture towards areas
of future social demand.
Colloborative Programmes with National & Regional Level Institutes
SAMETI on regular basis organizes various training programmes in collaboration with National Level

Information needs of farmers have been traditionally catered to through
schemes implemented by States / UT governments. The Government of
India has been supporting the States by initiating and funding quite a
few programmes. All these schemes have a component about
information dissemination. There are a number of current IT initiatives/
schemes undertaken or implemented by DAC which are aimed at
providing information to the farmers on various activities in the
Agricultural value chain. However, these initiatives are not integrated
and the information exists in silos because of which the farmer is
unable to make proper and timely use of the information available. The
existing IT applications have been built on disparate IT platforms and
the databases are not integrated leading to non-usage/ inefficient usage
of existing applications. Moreover, there is little awareness among the
farmers about current initiatives.
NeGP-A aims to provide an integrated and seamless interface to
the farmers for making informed decisions. Additionally, under the
proposed scheme, information is proposed to be delivered using
multiple delivery channels such as the internet, government offices,
touch screens, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, electronic media, Kisan Call
Centres, Agri-Clinics, Common Service Centres and mobile phones
(broadcast, Interactive Voice Response System, interactive messaging
using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data and Voice
Recognition), which will enable easy access to information for the
farmer. It would also help in effective monitoring of the targeted
beneficiaries which will help in efficient utilisation of funds in
achieving intended goals of various schemes. of DAC.12 Clusters of
Services have been identified for development and the project has been
sanctioned for implemenatation in the seven states and Himachal
Pradesh is one such State.
Training programmes on Stress management and Farmer Field School & Project
Management in Agriculural Extension.
Stress Management: Accepting the stress management as important component of
the training programmes, SAMETI organized two three day
training programmes on stress management for the
departmental officers and guest faculties were Psychiatrist
from IGMC, Shimla, Psychologist, physiotherapist and trainer
from art of living. Sessions were held on the types of stresses
and how to deal with and role of meditation and exercises in
mitigating stresses in personal and professional life and
adaptability strategies thereof.
Farmer Field School
Farmer Field school is one of the important extension tool
available for the extension functionaries for the dissemination
of new & innovative technologies to the farmers. Underlying
the Importance of FFS in Agriculure one training programme
was organized for the officers of the state department of
agriculture in which 25 ADO’s/SMS paerticpated.
Project Management in Agriculture Extension
One training programme on project mangagement in
agriculture extension was also organized at SAMETI in which
23 officers from the state departments of Agriculture, Animal
Husbandry & Horticulture participated.
Stress and its management
Stress is an inseparable part of human
existence. It affects all individuals rich and
poor, literate and illiterate, both men and
women and young and the old alike across
the developed and developing nations. Stress
and its effects on humans has been well
understood and attempts are constantly being
made to promote the well being of them by
organizing stress management programs at
periodic intervals in both Governmental and
Non Governmental sectors.
Project Management in Agriculture
Project management is a methodical
approach to planning and guiding project
processes from start to finish. It is the
method of planning the plan. It starts from
project definitions and ends with goal
achievement.
PMBOK defines project management as the
application of knowledge, skill, tool
and techniques to project activities in order
to meet stakeholder’s needs and
expectations from a project. In the recent
time project approach to attain the specific
goals has gained importance in agriculture so
the extension functionaries should be well
versed with the project management tools
and instruments to achieve the specific goals
in the agriculture of present times.
Success story Documentation
In scheme SSEPER(ATMA) documentation of
success stories is given a great importance and
this institute documented success
stories of twenty six(26) successful farmers.
Twenty Six Success stories were in hindi
representing the farmers of all the districts
of the state and was published in booklet
form in two parts.
SAMETI organized one workshop cum
training programme on the Success Story
Documentation attended by 12 farmer
group leaders.
Visits SAMETI is frequently visited by the
officers/farmers from various states of the
country under various programmes and the inter-
state visits under SSEPER schemes. These year
the officers & the farmers from the State of
Haryana and Punjab visted the SAMETI for
exposure visits.
Also this year Hon’ble Agriculture Minister
of Himachal Pradesh Sh. Sujan Singh
Pathania visited the SAMETI.
Newsletter
SAMETI is regularly publishing its newsletter in Hindi and English medium. Key information is
also available on SAMETI website www.sametihp.com
A success story shows Extension making a
difference in people’s lives. More than a
list of events or activities, it describes a
positive change and shows how that
change benefits the people.
Why write success stories?
To show accountability for public
funds.
To verify that we are using resources
to make a positive difference
in people’s lives.
To share successes so individuals in
and out of Extension can learn from
our results.
To spread the word about Extension
as a valuable resource.
To show that numbers alone don’t
tell the whole story of Extension.
To reflect and learn from our work.
To practice good scholarship.
