Abstract
The study was conducted in Tumkur and Chitradurga district of Karnataka state during 2015-16. For the study, 30 farmers and 20 extension workers were selected from public, private and corporate sectors. Thus, the total sample size for the study was 150 respondents. The data were collected by using structured interview schedule developed for the farmers and questionnaire for extension workers. The perception was measured using a Likert scale and data were analysed using Analysis of variance technique. With respect to public extension system, equal percentage of farmers (36.66 %) had least favourable and favourable perception and 26.66 per cent of farmers had most favourable perception. Regarding Private extension system, nearly half (43.33%) of farmers had favourable perception followed by most favourable (30.00%) and least favourable (26.66 %). With respect to corporate extension system, 40.00 per cent of the farmers had least favourable perception followed by most favourable (33.33 %) and favourable (26.66 %). With respect to perception towards public extension system, it was found that 55.00 per cent of public extension workers had favourable perception followed by most favourable (30.00 %) and least favourable (15.00%). Regarding private extension system, 45.00 per cent of private extension workers had favourable perception followed by most favourable (30.00%) and least favourable (25.00%). When corporate extension system is concerned it was found that 40.00 per cent of corporate extension workers had least favourable perception towards corporate extension system and equal percentage of them i.e., 30.00 per cent had favourable and most favourable perception.
