Integration of Agricultural Research, Education and Extension

Abstract

In modern times, science advances most and best when organised. Organisation of research is itself a scientific method of major importance. There is now an increased appreciation in India, as in other countries, that progress in agriculture can be achieved only when there is recognition of the fact that efforts may collapse if all the three legs of the tripod-research, education and extension are not all functioning. The Joint Indo-American team, in their report on agricultural research and education in India observe that everywhere in India, in its wide contact, the team has found approval of these sentiments and of the necessity for this co-ordination.
