1.1.1.5 Need for extension 

Need is more for the rural economy with its major component of agriculture and allied activities to keep pace with the brisk changes characteristic of modern times. To achieve this, research findings on improved technologies developed by research organisations have to be taken to the farmers, the ultimate users of such improved technologies, for adoption in their fields. Like wise, the problems faced by the farmers in their field have to be taken to the research organisations for solutions. Extension agency serves as a link between the farmers and the research organisations in these functions.
