Abstract

                                At a time when our country is passing through an unprece- dented period of agricultural or rural development towards the building of a welfare State, one thing more than another that provides the pre-requisites for success is a co-operative endeavour on the part of the educationalist, scientists, and extension personnel of the Agriculture Departments. Agriculture has been rightly stated to be in the midst of a revolution in our country at present. Increasing application of science to Agriculture has become not merely important but essential for our economic survival. The National Plans have as their objective a balanced development not only in agriculture but also of different branches of agriculture itself. These various plans for agricultural development have to be based against the background of general picture of our economic, social and administrative set up.
