ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to know the of attitude of extension personnel towards facilitation under Agricultural Technology Management Agencies. For that purpose an attitude scale was constructed. Total 200 samples were selected by using simple random sampling without replacement. But only 120 respondents returned their filled in questionnaires which were accepted for final analysis. The findings showed that majority of respondents (69.17%) had moderate level of favourable attitude towards facilitation. Attitude of extension personnel towards facilitation had negative and significant correlation with ‘age’ and ‘service experience’. A positive and significant correlation was observed between ‘educational qualification’. On the other hand attitude of extension personnel towards facilitation had positive and significant correlations with ‘educational qualification’ and ‘knowledge on andragogy’ and ‘knowledge on group dynamics’.
