Work programme
Knowledge Management
Indicators
Each center has to provide a list of process and impact indicators. Process indicators will indicate as to how the activity milestones will be achieved and the steps involved. Impact indicators will assess and evaluate the research findings on the socio-economic conditions of farmers, production/ productivity, cost of production including effect on environmental. The indicators provided by the researchers in the proposal, and those recommended by the reviewers/ TAG and approved by RPC will be used to evaluate the project outputs including its quality. For preparation of the Project Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) indicators please see sample templates and section 8.0.
Expected Outcome/ Impact/ Deliverables
This is very important part of a research project. At the same time it should indicate impact in relation to advances made in science, developing a new technology/ product, economic gain to the farming community, skill/ knowledge empowerment etc. impact may respect of efficiency may also be included. Technology dissemination of expected outcome should be quantified as far as possible.
Impact on science, commerce, society, environment, HRD etc
