Assam is predominantly rural and the economy primarily agrarian in nature with almost 70% of the population directly dependent on Agriculture as a source of income. However, the scenario in terms of productivity and production has been mixed. Though we have achieved self sufficiency in rice, the staple crop, fruits & vegetables, we still have a shortfall in overall requirement of oilseed, pulses and potato etc.The AACP is trying to diversify the agriculture through irrigation to increase cropping intensity and thereby to increase net income of the farmers. It emphasizes on participation of farmers in planning, implementation, monitoring and post management through Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) model and orientation of extension towards lead marketing.
