TEXTBOOK OF EXTENSION EDUCATION

This book is intended for the college students who may not yet encountered a course  in extension education. Thus it is really an “Introduction” to extension education. It  is not intended to develop any new theories but introduce the students with the  existing knowhow in this area. Extension Education courses have been introduced  in  most  of  the  agricultural universities  for  students of  agriculture horticulture  forestry home science veterinary science dairy science engineering and fisheries.  The Indian council of Agricultural Research has recently revised the syllabus for the  graduate students and added new dimensions to the courses. This syllabus is made  common for all the universities in India. With the inclusion of new courses in the  syllabus the old books on this subject became obsolete. The need for new books with  recent concepts and information became the need of the hour. It is hoped that this  book will be helpful to these students in a preliminary understanding of this subject.
