AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION

The Department of Agricultural Extension was created by bifurcating the erstwhile composite Department of Agricultural Extension, Agricultural Economics & Agricultural Statistics into two departments, namely, the Department of Agricultural Extension and the Department of Agricultural Economics & Agricultural Statistics, during 2016. The department offers eight courses in B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture programme of the Bhavana. It also offers two-year M.Sc. (Ag.) in Agricultural Extension Education and Ph.D. in Agricultural Extension Education programmes. A good number of students of the department succeed in ICAR-JRF, ICAR-SRF, ICAR-NET, and UGC-NET examinations. The department implemented and completed three externally funded research projects and conducted field demonstrations on vegetables, pulses and oilseed crops, respectively.
