"Education in class-rooms would be of no use until and unless the benefits of education reaches the society. Education is the most important input to change the potential energy of society into kinetic energy. The higher education must provide extension education for rural development, urban development and adult education.

This book on "Extension Education Services in Higher Education" deals with important activities and programmes whereby benefits of higher education reach the society in varied forms.

This book would be of great use to policy-makers, planners and decision-makers as well as to all those concerned with higher education. It would be of great relevance to the departments of education in the universities, vice-chancellors, principals in colleges, faculty members in higher education to promote academic excellence and a super knowledge society in this century."
