This document summarizes the activities of the National Animal Production Research Institute in adopting villages and schools to disseminate improved agricultural technologies. It discusses how two secondary schools and two villages have received support in the form of power generators, chairs, and building materials. The purpose is to transfer technologies to increase production and livelihoods through improved crops like groundnuts and broiler production. Challenges are faced but technologies are being adopted, with over 100 livestock cases treated annually and students interested in continuing broiler production.
