Summary:
Though novel technologies are being developed at knowledge centres,
farmers at individual level faces difficulties in accessing the
information. The technical agro information needs to be provided to the
farmers at the right time and in the right way, so that the farm
operations could be carried out timely resulting assured yield and
economic returns. Several terms are too technical and not easy to
grasp in these sciences. At present, there are many comprehensive
text books on these sciences. There is a need to use simple language
and the present book titled “Glossary of Terms and Terminologies in
Community, Extension and Social Sciences”suites to the specific
needs of all students, scientists and all those who find great difficulty in
referring to some terms used in this sciences. Thus bridging the info
divide, extension services inhabit a strategic position in the agricultural
technology transfer. Therefore we intended to compile this book
‘Glossary of Terms and Terminologies in Community, Extension and
Social Sciences to cater the needs of agricultural graduates and
sociologists. We collected information from a variety of sources and
appropriate updating was carried out. We hope that the present book
will serve as a ready reference for agricultural students as well as
graduates preparing for competitive examinations like ASRB, UGC,
SLET, UPSC, IRMA and students appearing for interviews. This book
could help all the stake holders of rural development involving central
and state Government departments, rural sociologists, non-
governmental organizations, individual farmers, farmer cooperatives
and extension functionaries and knowledge centre viz., State
Agricultural Universities (SAUs), Agricultural Research Stations (ARS)

interventions. We acknowledge all the sources from which the key
facts and concepts have been drafted. We express our sincere thanks
