About the Book

Extension Education

This extension is new and extremely significant area which should be developed on the basis of high priority. Extension education is largely the process of teaching rural people how to live better by learning ways to improve their farm, home and community institutions. It is ‘helping people to help themselves’ by changing their behaviour (knowledge, attitude and skills). Hence, an extension educator must simultaneously wear multiple hats — that of a teacher, guide, friend and philosopher. The book provides an introductory knowledge about education, extension education and agricultural extension by incorporating their definition meaning concepts, objectives and principles which is basic to learners of extension education.
