    PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT AGENCY PERSONNEL IN MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION EDUCATION B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Khadayata Kaushikkumar G.; Dr. Sunil R. Patel
    Human resources form the bedrock of the agricultural extension system. This is because they are the ones that actually do the job of information and technology dissemination. In recent years, competencies have emerged as the primary means of evaluating abilities and job skills. Competencies are a form of progress as a tool, or point of reference, which can be used to assess and evaluate worker’s progress of performance. The ATMA can be regarded responsible for all the technology dissemination activities at the district level in the state. It is necessary to investigate competencies of extension personnel and how that leads to better delivery of extension services for a sustainable rural development. In this context, it would be very much essential to know the professional competence of ATMA personnel. Further, professional competence is affected by several factors, outstanding among which, are the individual characteristics. Hence, some selected socio-personal variables, psychological variables and organizational variables which may have influence on professional competence were also realized to be studied.
