ABSTRAK Kegiatan bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan dan ketrampilan anggota kelompok tani dalam mengembangkan pertanian terpadu dengan cara meningkatkan kemampuan dan ketrampilan para anggotanya dalam hal penguasaan teknologi budidaya tanaman pangan, peternakan, dan perikanan secara terpadu, serta kemampuan berwirausaha. Tujuan adalah terbentuknya desa Tidu sebagai pusat pengembangan pertanian terpadu. Berdasarkan permasalahan yang ada, perlu dilakukan usaha pembinaan berkesinambungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah pelatihan dan alih teknologi pertanian terpadu dengan melibatkan mahasiswa peserta KKN-PPM untuk melakukan kegiatan pendampingan dan pembinaan.Pelatihan dilakukan dengan perkuliahan klasikal dan alih teknologi dengan praktik langsung. penyampaian materi dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, diskusi, dan simulasi. Praktik langsung budidaya tanaman pangan, budidaya ternak, dan budidaya ikan lele mulai dari persiapan, pengolahan hasil, teknik pengemasan dan perijinan. Pendampingan dilakukan selama pelatihan dan alih teknologi, Pembinaan dilakukan dengan membimbing dan memantau anggota kelompok tani setelah kegiatan pelatihan selesai, pembinaan dilakukan secara rutin setiap dua minggu atau sesuai permintaan mitra atau Tim KKN-PPM. Kemitraan diwujudkan dengan memberi bantuan modal dan teknis. Bantuan modal berupa sarana dan prasarana pertanian terpadu. Bantuan teknis berupa peningkatan kemampuan dan ketrampilan pertanian terpadu. Kata Kunci : kelompok tani, pemberdayaan, dan pendampingan ABSTRACT Activities aimed at improving the capabilities and skills of members of farmers in developing integrated farming by improving the capabilities and skills of its members in terms of technological mastery on cultivation of food crops, livestock and fisheries in an integrated manner, as well as entrepreneurship skills. It is to make Tidu as the center of an integrated agricultural development. The method used is the training and integrated agricultural technology transfer.Training is done with classical lectures and technology transfer to the practice. Delivery of material is done by lectures, discussions, and simulations. Practice of food crop cultivation, animal breeding, and cultivation of catfish ranging from the preparation, processing, packaging and licensing techniques.Assistance was done during training and technology transfer, coaching is done by guiding and monitoring the members of farmers after the training is completed, the coaching is done routinely. Partnership is realized by providing capital and assistance. Assistance is integrated agricultural infrastructure. Technical assistance is increased capacity and integrated farming skills. Keywords : farmer groups, cultivation, assistance, and coaching

Even though there has been increasing development of water management technologies over the years, the adoption rate by the farmers is comparatively small ranging from only 15–20%. Hence it is timely to look at the return to water management research investment to fine-tune investment in future research. A detailed study was done using the data from Tamil Nadu state, India. The successful technologies yielded a moderate return ranging from 11–20%. With higher adoption levels of the water management technologies, the rate of return will be higher. Strategies to boost technology transfer and upkeep should be given importance in water management programmes.

Subject area Entrepreneurship; Technology Transfer; Incubators; Accelerators Study level/applicability Postgraduate, Faculty Development Programs (FDP) and Management Development Programs (MDP) in areas of Technology Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Education, Incubator and Accelerator Management. Case overview Madras Mind Works Private Limited (MMW) is an entrepreneurial venture set up by four friends in Chennai (earlier known as Madras) in Tamil Nadu, India. MMW intends to use the emerging trends in virtual reality and exploit opportunities that arise from its application. MMW has received invitations to join both an incubator as well as an accelerator. After detailed deliberations among the four co-founders that yielded no conclusion, the team left the responsibility of taking the decision to its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Srinivasan Krish (Srini). Srini now has to decide whether MMW must join the incubator or the accelerator. Expected learning outcomes At least five factors will be learnt based on which tech start-ups can decide whether they should join an incubator or accelerator. Two important players in the entrepreneurship ecosystem are incubators and accelerators. You will learn to define them, describe their characteristics and services and learn their similarities and differences. You will learn what constitutes an entrepreneurial ecosystem using the BEEP framework. You will learn about many ecosystem players including but not limited to – incubators, accelerators, co-working spaces, technology transfer offices, research parks, angels, venture capitalists, government support schemes, university research centres, etc. Supplementary materials Board Plans, YouTube Video Links. Subject code CSS 3: Entrepreneurship.

Abstract In this article I seek to present certain problematics related to the ProSAVANA agricultural development program, highlighting a mismatch between a political sphere and a scientific sphere, which allowed me to reflect on some effects of the technical discourse that has guided the implementation of this international cooperation project. From research that sought to do an ethnography on the operationalization of this program, I intend to present the manner in which such technopolitical breakdowns in the proposed “technologies transfer” have produced a composition of different temporalities, which conferred a particular pace to the effectiveness of ProSAVANA. In order to describe this strange relation between different forms of knowledge that are expressed in the time of accomplishing a development project - unfolding at different speeds -, I follow the idea of Mbembe (2011) that in the postcolony, time is constantly emerging. In this sense, throughout this article I seek to describe how, by decomposing these different speeds, it is possible to understand the temporalities that emerge from the particular entanglement of technopolitical relations that confer the materiality of this development project.
