The current phase represents an epoch of paradigm shifts in agriculture from green revolution to evergreen revolution and intensive agriculture to sustainable agriculture. The impact of modern Info-Communication Technology (ICT) is also becoming visible in every sphere of academic growth and more so on endeavours of transfer technology.

Befitting to the objective of highlighting new dimensions, the book covers recent advances on communication skill cyber extension, agri preneurship, crop diversification, motivational factors and participatory rural appraisal through articles contributed by eminent scientists of agriculture extension and experts of communication and personality development.
