THE Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in Nueva Ecija is making farmers more adept and knowledgeable in the application of technologies through its Techno Village Development Program (TVDP), a unified university extension program to accelerate countryside development.

Edgar Orden, CLSU vice president for research and extension, and director of the University Extension Program Office (UEPO), said the university's techno village program was inspired by the Adopt-a-Barangay concept wherein an institution selects a community to serve and deploys its human and material resources to help the locality.
