days on `Gaon ke Mahilaon Ke Liye`, `Mitti Ki Mehak`, and `Dharti Ka
Aanchal`.
(b) There are 34 Agricultural Universities including four Deemed
Universities and one Central University. The names of the universities and
fields of research are indicated in Annexure-I.

contribute information and help to form opinion about agricultural
technology. It is estimated that the Doordarshan`s viewership of the
existing programmes is more than 90 per cent in rural areas and 70 per cent
in urban areas.
