Introduction

With the various efforts undertaken by the Government of India, ICAR, State Government, Financial Institutions and private sector etc. Poultry development has become very well developed in the country. However, these efforts resulted into unequal growth and being mainly concentrated to few states.
In spite of all these developments a considerable segment in the poultry sector is still unorganized and is spread over in the form of small farms in far-flung areas that still needs organized effort to exploit this potential. The Training and Marketing also continues to be the weakest link in the facet of various poultry development programs.

Introduction

With the diversification and modernisation of agricultural practices, there is a need to augment support and extension services for agriculture.

These centres will provide a package of input facilities, consultancy and other services. They will strengthen transfer of technology and extension services and also provide self employment opportunities to technically trained persons.
