Agricultural Extension and Rural Development is an interdisciplinary course that focuses on improving agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods through the dissemination of knowledge, innovations, and best practices. It combines elements of agriculture, social sciences, communication, and development studies to equip students with the skills needed to work with rural communities, farmers, and stakeholders. The course emphasizes the role of extension services in bridging the gap between research institutions and farmers by translating scientific advancements into practical applications. Topics covered typically include rural sociology, communication strategies, agricultural policies, program planning, and participatory development approaches. Students learn about sustainable farming techniques, community mobilization, leadership, and the use of technology in agricultural extension. The program prepares graduates for careers in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, agribusiness, and international development organizations, where they can contribute to rural transformation and food security.
