Description
New Vishal Publications Fundamentals Of Agricultural Extension (Pb) by Sunil And V G
The book “Fundamentals of Agricultural Extension” is written to serve as an introductory textbook for the subject of extension. It starts with the historical origin of agricultural extension. It then proceeds to describe the basic philosophy, principles and objectives of extension and adult education. The teaching and learning process and methods are covered well. The emphasis on technology transfer methods with chapters on psychology, sociology, diffusion, and participatory methods make the book unique. The book also tried to bring out the idea of programme planning and rural development in an inclusive manner. The addition of chapters on management and training takes the book to a more advanced level. Furthermore, a basic idea of research methodology and statistics is given through five chapters. The objectivity in writing and use of drawings makes the book well suited for students preparing for JRF, ARS, NET and SRF exams.
