Hi Shahid

After reading your post and your reply to Mr Bruce, i am beginning to believe that there are more constraints than just communication of the initiative. Also, since you said it is a tool of gov't institute, why is awareness a major problem? Does it mean there is ineffective extension service or it is lack of gov't support/finding. What about farmers' acceptability. I think this is one of the critical factors and not awareness. Extension nowadays has gone technological, so a few mobile contact and dissemination can make an impact. Again was farmers' input taken into consideration when developing the initiative?
