    DEVELOPMENT OF SCALE TO MEASURE THE ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS TOWARDS AGRICULTURAL JOURNALISM
    (INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Patel Juliben Mahendrakumar; Dr. J. B. Patel
    India is principally an agricultural country. Sixty four per cent of the Indian population lives in villages. Fifty eight per cent of the total workforce depends on agriculture for its daily bread (FAO, 2016). Agriculture is the single largest private sector occupation in the country. To maintain this scenario of farming in India, the farmers need suitable and sustainable solutions in form of understandable information in different forms. On the other hand there is a public debate on the problem of unemployment among the graduates. Thus, in the present context of employability, choosing career intelligently is of vital importance. To provide quality information to the farmers and to overcome the employment problem of the students, agricultural graduate students should also think of the agricultural journalist as a career option. The experts involved in the development of rural and agricultural development have opinion that new generation of graduate agricultural scholars should have positivism in certain mind-set, wisdom, knowledge and skills that facilitate effective and wise use of understanding, experience and formal education. These expected qualities are helpful to be a successful, motivating and productive farm communicators or journalists. However, presently there is no research done to measure such feeling. Looking at this, present investigation was conducted to develop the scale for measuring the attitude towards agricultural journalism of graduate students of final year studying in AAU with following specific objectives.
