| dc.description | Three workshops on Trickle Down Extension System (TDES) of 2 days duration each, were conducted at Rajshahi, Khulna and Dhaka Divisions during September and October 1992. Main objective of the workshops was to bring clarity among the participants about the concept of TDES. Progress and production performance made in fish culture by the Result Demonstration Fish Farmers (RDs) and problems encountered during operation have also been reviewed. Consequently these participatory workshops helped in im proving functional design and the strategies of TDES by incorporating the recommendations made by the participants. Three such workshops were organized at Bogra, Jessore and Mymensingh where a total number of 62 RDs and 100 Officers/Staff/Resource persons actively participated.
