Abstract

                                In considering the future for agricultural extension work in the Madras State as well as in India it is well to remember that in the next five years the whole country will be organised in the Community and National Extension Blocks. In the Madras State 498 such Blocks will be spread over the entire State. The impact of these Blocks on agricultural extension work has also to be considered. It is well to emphasise that so far as agricultural extension is concerned it is very necessary that in these Blocks work should be on a more and more intensified character and on a much larger scale, with increased agricultural production, as well as improvement of agricultural standards.
