Measurement of perception of the importance of linkage activities in the transfer of technology of improved rice varieties

Abstract

An investigation was designed to measure the perception about the importance of linkage activities among the research, extension, client and input subsystems in the transfer of technology of improved rice varieties. The extension subsystem perceived its linkage activities with the research subsystem as less important. The research subsystem percieved its linkage with the input subsystem as less important and this was reciprocated by the latter also. The perception of the client subsystem about its linkage with the input subsystem was also poor. The extension subsystem was of opinion that its linkage with the client and input subsystem was important and this view was reciprocated by the client and input subsystems.
