For spearheading the innovation movement in the remote tribal areas of Idukki district, the center has formed the developmental task force in the tribal areas.  The task force will disseminate the selected proven innovations of farmers related to agriculture among their tribal groups and will act as the change agents in their respective tribal groups.  The groups have raised model plots in their farms and have helped other groups to adopt the innovative practice of other farmers. The programme is being supported by DST Government of India.
