HOME SCEINCE EXTENSION AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Lesson 6:Home science education

Introduction

As Home Science is expanding its boundaries it becomes rather difficult to determine the vocational opportunities for Home Science graduates within and outside Home Science. The employment opportunities have certainly increased and it appears that the scope is still wider. The increasing opportunities mean greater responsibilities for the Home Science colleges in India. Formerly the Home Science graduates found only teaching jobs. Today teaching is still the main avenue of employment for the majority of Home Science graduates but on the other hand several other jobs are also open for the Home Science graduates. Not only the Home Science graduates have become more job- oriented but the Home Science colleges have also recognized the need of preparing students for employment.
