Abstract

                                An analysis of the communication behaviour of the Agrl, extension workers revealed the following. The Agricultural Extension Officers were very poor in their output behaviour due to pre-occupation in their administrative and organization work in the office. Therefore facilities should be provided to relieve them from more of administration work and concent rate on other areas like educating the farmers, supervising and guiding the Village Level Ex- tension Workers and farmers in the field. The administrators should provide more opportu nities for the Agricultural Extension Officers to arrange special lectures, participating in radio broadcast and encouraging to write more of written information materials to the farming community. The information unit may be strengthened further to screen film shows and slide shows during evenings in the villages.
