?  ?  ?  ?  

Village    level  census  data  is  there      

Some  farmers  have  adopted  improved  technologies  in  the  past  

But  some  did  not  ?    

Can  I  use  past  trends?  

Perhaps  yes  –  Lets  Discuss  with  CPWF/WLE  team  

Adop(on  Targets  100000????    

Why  not  to  con

duct  a  

quick  and  d

irty  exercise

Objec(ve  :    

 To  develop    a  proxy    index  to  iden(fy  areas  having  high  poten(al  for  adop(on  of  new  technologies  using  the  past  adop(on  rates  and  farmer  response  to  different  technologies

Datasets  &  Parameters  used    

•   Agricultural  (2008)  and  Popula(on  census  data    (2011)  

•   Developed  a  mouza  level  database  of  more  than  61,000  mouzas  of  Bangladesh  

•   We  have  entered  more  than  60  parameters  to  develop  this  socio-­‐economic  database  

•  Irriga(on  Pumps,  Tractor,  Power  (ller,  Paddy  thrasher,  Seeder,  Other  Agri.  Instrument,  percent  area  under  HYVs  in  AUS,  Aman,  Boro  –  12  parameters

Methods  

 PTAI  uses  composites    of  Standard  Z  score  to  logically  combine  the  selected  parameters    

     

Composite  Standard  Score    Classes    

Low      =  <  0.5    

Medium        =  -­‐0.5-­‐0.5  

High    =    0.5-­‐  1.5  

Very  High    =  >  1.5

Farmers  from  623  villages  (out  of  3523  villages),  are  fast  adaptor  to  new  technologies,  covering  an  area  of    2,00,000  ha

Conclusion  PTAI,  a  proxy  index  can  be  a  very  handy  tool  in  absence  of  detailed  bio-­‐physical  datasets    PTAI  can  be  used  for  quick  dissemina(on  In  favourable  area  where  score  is  high  or  very  high.    Composite  Index  of  Ex.  Domains+PTAI  will  further    improve  the  chances  of  improved  targe(ng    Further  study  is  needed  to  validate  and  improve    the  Index
