About
n the year between 1862 -65 our country had to face a severe famine. Government formed a famine commission. This commission first advocated forming an Agriculture Department. Consequently in 1870 the agriculture department was formed as a revenue department. In 1960 a separate Agriculture Department was established. At that time an agriculture farm covering 1000 acres of land was set up at Monipur area of Dhaka city ( present Jatyo Sangshad area). This agriculture farm was attached to the Agriculture Department. For conducting agriculture research a laboratory was established in the year 1909. In 1914 Government employed an Agriculture Extension Officer in each district. Their academic background was not agriculture. In 1943 agriculture graduates were appointed to the agriculture department. In 1950 the then East Pakistan government initiated the extension and development program among the farmers through the VAID project. Government established Plant Protection Wing (1956), Bangladesh Agriculture Development Corporation (1961), Agriculture Information Center (1962), DAEM and DARI (1970). After the independence of Bangladesh government took initiatives to strengthen agriculture extension program and established cotton development board, tobacco development board, horticulture board. In 1975 agriculture directorate (Extension and Management) and Jute directorate were established. In 1982 Six agencies responsible for technology transfer DAE (E and M), DA( jp), plant protection directorate, horticulture board, tobacco development board and central extension resource and development institute (CERDI) were merged to form the present Agriculture Extension Department (DAE).
