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.
