Any extension programme planning is based on collection and critical analysis of the facts in a situation. It is important to consider the conditions that exist at the initiation of the programme in a particular area. While planning, certain factors may be taken into consideration such as the land, the homes and communities, crops, the organizations, the institutions and agencies, economic trends, social structure, economic status of the people, their habits, traditions and culture of people, knowledge of everything including the people and their situation in which the job is to be done.
Collection of Facts through Questionnaire
The results of past plans and experiences need to be studied and results used for determining the future needs. The facts of a situation may be obtained from surveys, scientific sampling procedures, the census and economic and social trend studies, focus group discussions etc and this requires a critical analysis and careful thought by extension agents, specialists, leaders, farm people and all other working together.
