Agricultural extension involves the transfer of knowledge, skills, and innovations from research institutions to farmers to improve farming practices, while technology and mechanisation refer to the use of modern tools, machines, and scientific methods to increase efficiency, reduce labor, and boost agricultural productivity. These elements play a vital role in modernizing agriculture, improving yields, and ensuring sustainable food production. The course aims to equip students with an understanding of how extension services, technology, and mechanisation contribute to agricultural development, enabling them to adopt and promote improved farming techniques for enhanced productivity and rural development.
