    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2000) Madhusudhana Rao, K; Chandargi, D M
    "The role of field level extension personnel becomes very crucial for effective transfer of technology from research stations to farmers through department of agriculture. It is imperative on the part of Agricultural Assistants (AAs) to be familiar with communication techniques for development of agriculture. The present study was conducted in Dharwad district of Karnataka state during the year 1999-2000. Data was collected from 60 AAs during fortnight^ meeting sessions in all taluks of the district. Personal interview method was used to elicit the information pertaining to communication techniques used by AAs , whereas self filled structured questionnaires were used for personal and psychological characteristics. The major findings of the study were ; all the AAs were aware of major extension teaching methods and AV aids. Farm and home visits, group meetings, pre season campaigns, farmer training camps and results demonstrations were the major extension teaching methods used for educating the farmers, whereas agricultural exhibitions, study tours and method demonstrations were used to a limited extent. Black board, extension publications and posters were popular visual aids among AAs. Majority of the AAs (63.33%) were involved in sending messages for radio tips. The important technical sources for the AAs were fortnightly meetings, radio and television agricultural programmes, news paper agricultural articles and package of practices booklet. Around 80 per cent of the AAs were receiving good to satisfactory guidance in their extension job, whereas farmer co-operation and participation were average for majority of the AAs (50%). Majority of the AAs were in middle age category, received preservice training, had high experience, low education, medium job satisfaction and medium job commitment. Problems faced by AAs in doing their job include greater demand for free benefits and subsidies, illiteracy, inadequate input supply, skepticism of the farmers and poor promotion policies."
