AFMR (AGRICULTURAL FM RADIO): A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMING AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO DIFFERENT VARIABLES OF EXTENSION EDUCATIONISTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 13
Abstract
To know the personal and social variables of the extension educationists for transferring agricultural information through Agricultural FM Radio (AFMR), a study was conducted on a random sample of 60 extension educationists working at Anand Agricultural University (AAU), Anand in Gujarat state. The data, collected by personal contact, revealed that half (50.00 %) of respondents were of the middle age and majority (78.33 %) of them had earned their last degrees with first class (> 6.90 OGPA or %) while more than half (58.33 %) of them were belonged to the rural areas. The data on relationship between those variables of the extension educationists and their attitude towards AFMR to transfer agricultural information shown that age of respondents had positive and non-significant relationship with attitude while academic performance & native had negative and non-significant correlation with attitude towards AFMR.
