In a bid to establish stronger linkages with the development agencies and other organizations that work at the grassroots level, the Directorate of Extension has proposed a programme to associate with the LSGIs in project formulation, implementation, monitoring and impact assessment. We hope that this would help us evolve a new system of proactive involvement of our university in the local level development process and widen our extension efforts. This has been designed by drawing lessons from a few successful interventions by KVKs in association with LSGIs.
