Fundamentals of Agricultural Extension Education offers a comprehensive overview of the principles, approaches, and practices that bridge agricultural science with rural communities. Written for students, researchers, and extension professionals, the book serves as a foundational guide to understanding how knowledge is transferred from research institutions to farmers in order to improve productivity, livelihoods, and sustainability.
The text begins with the history and philosophy of extension, tracing its evolution from community development programs to modern participatory and ICT-based approaches. It explains the concepts, objectives, and principles of extension, along with the psychology of learning, motivation, and behavior change in rural contexts.
Key topics include extension methods and teaching tools, communication models, leadership development, diffusion and adoption of innovations, extension programme planning, monitoring and evaluation, and the role of extension in agricultural and rural development. The book also examines contemporary issues such as women in agriculture, entrepreneurship development, public–private partnerships, and the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in extension delivery.
By combining theory with case studies and practical examples, the book prepares readers to analyze rural problems, design effective extension strategies, and empower farming communities. It is particularly valuable for students of agricultural universities, extension workers, policymakers, and those preparing for competitive examinations in agriculture and allied sciences.
