This document discusses various agricultural extension approaches used to communicate information to farmers and help improve their livelihoods. It describes approaches such as on-farm demonstrations, agricultural information services, crop maximization programs, extension through fellow farmers, credit-based extension, women's extension services, and the Training and Visit (T&V) system. Each approach is explained in 1-2 sentences along with its goals of sharing new technologies, production techniques, and knowledge to increase farm outputs and incomes.

and an improved quality of rural life.
4. What is agricultural extension
Agricultural Extension is an on-going
Process that communicate useful
information to people & assist them
to use the information or technology
to improve the quality of their life,
their families and communities.
5. Role of agricultural extension
approaches
•On –farm demonstrations.
•Agricultural information service.
•Crop maximization programmes.
•Extension through fellow farmers.
•Credit-bases extension.
•Women’s extension service.
•Training & visit system (T&V).
6. On –farm demonstrations
A Demonstration farm is a farm
which is used primarily to
demonstrated various agricultural
techniques, with any Economic gain
being an added bonus.
9. Agriculture information service
Agricultural information interacts with and
influences agricultural productivity in a variety
of ways. It can help inform decisions regarding
land, labor, livestock, capital and management.
Agricultural productivity can arguably be
improved by relevant, reliable and useful
information and knowledge.

11. Package
agriculture information service
•Introduced the latest technology
•Magazine and broacher will be brought up
•Understand the farmer language
•Check the update
•Visiting the farmers
•Analysis the fields
14. Crop maximization programmes
•Tehsil/Councils show the technology impact
•A efficient corporation
•Research
•Try to enhance the farmer input
•To help the farmer for achieve the high production
•A short period through a multiplier effect
15. Extension through fellow farmers
The best education of farmer is the
farmer community can be fellow
farmer that have great reputation
for efficient production
16.
17. Efficient production
Extension through fellow farmers
•Experience & knowledge.
•Utilization the knowledge with other farmer in the area.
•Start the agriculture related business.
•Farmers mostly cradle the animals.
20. Availability
credit-based extension
•Most of farmers have a very short cash.
•They need credit of the hills & desert areas.
•If they know how the technology then making
credit.
•Credit availability is very effective.
21. women extension service
When talking about the rural side
women work in agriculture they
have play very important rule, in
these side women that have a
opportunities to enhance the skills
and abilities.
22.
23. Women
extension service
•Rural women operating the different farm types in home.
•Started the different agriculture education programme.
•Start the training & education of women's.
•The women extension service is started in some Punjab
provision.
•Women played a very imported role in development of the
country.
24. T&V
system
The T&V system in Agricultural Extension
Education is design for building a lined
professional extension service that is capable of
guiding the farmers in agricultural production &
raising their income by providing appropriate
plans for country development.
25.
26. Purpose of
T&V system
•Field & farmer preference should be maintained.
•Work should be time-bound.
•Training should be regular & continue.
•Extension should be closely linked with the
research.
•Extension function should be solely.

Diagnosis: Identifying the Problem, it involves collecting and analyzing information to design on-farm demonstrations. Activities may include a review of secondary data, informal farm surveys consisting of farmer interviews and field observations, and formal surveys with a questionnaire. The purpose of these activities is to gather enough information to describe the basic features of the research area, to identify problems that limit farmers’ productivity, and to begin considering possible improvements in farmers’ practices.
Planning: Planning a demonstration may begin with the selection of a guidance committee (commodity advisory group). The committee should consist of Extension staff, agents, specialists, concerned farmers, local dealers, and other cooperating individuals who will help do the work. The some major points is progressive, (aware of the problems that need to be addressed), (willing to attend meetings and help gather support for your demonstration activity), (and known for their leadership ability.)
Establishment and Management: Establishing a demonstration involves the actual planting of test plots and/or field trials in the fields of representative farmers. These field demonstrations examine a small number of new variables, test possible solutions, verify recommendations, and demonstrate recommendations to farmers. The new variables may represent possible solutions and/or exploratory factors. Traditional farm production factors do not need to be part of the experimentation stage and are usually present at the local producer level.
Evaluating: Carefully analyze the results of all on-farm demonstrations. Even if the demonstration failed, you can learn a lot by discussing the results with everyone involved and trying to pinpoint the weaknesses. Don’t be afraid to contact state Extension specialists, area program directors, and other county agents for their opinions on any demonstration you undertake.
Recommendation and Diffusion: In a system of on-farm demonstrations that functions well, Extension agents participate in the entire process and so are able to transfer recommendations to farmers with skill and confidence. When farmers are actively involved in on-farm demonstrations, they act as an avenue for the diffusion of new technology. By monitoring farmers’ opinions and use of new technologies, agents can improve their understanding of farmers’ needs and preferences. The some main points is (Purpose of meeting/demonstration ) (Who is invited) (Place of demonstration) (Time of demonstration).
Start the agriculture related business: progressive farmer can also be started specific group & forums for seed production, nursery raising, live stock & poultary production.
