Department Of Agri. Extension & Education

Home >Agri. Extension & Education

Departmental Overview

The agricultural extension is mandated to provide the latest agricultural innovations to farmers in a convincing way, without which agricultural development is not possible. For effective technology transfer, the extension worker must have certain qualifications to efficiently perform multi-faceted agricultural tasks. Keeping these facts in view, a full-fledged Department of Agricultural Extension Education has been established under the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. The department is currently offering graduate courses according to the guidelines of the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan. The department will soon start M.Sc. (Hons.) and Ph.D. programs in Agricultural Extension.

Vision

The agricultural extension program will improve the living standard of farmers and will help in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Mission

The Department of Agricultural Extension and Education aims to improve the living standard of farmers through sustainable agriculture and to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge required for effective technology transfer. The collaboration with the allied departments is also our mission.
