PREFACE
Agricultural extension is a key to sustainable agricultural development. The global
change in economic policies and advancement in technologies have brought a complete
shift in extension approaches worldwide. It has introduced new trends such as market
led extension, cyber extension and private extension to the discipline. In view of this,
ICAR nominated the 5th Dean’s Committee to suggest relevant modification and
changes in the course curricula of all disciplines at UG level.
This e-reading manual on ASS 114: Human Values and Ethics is designed as per the
revised curricula of B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture programme recommended by the 5th
Dean’s Committee of ICAR. The new chapters were added as per the revision and
incorporated in such a way that made it easily understandable to the students to make it
more clear and attractive. Pictures, graphs, figures, etc. are used at appropriate places.
This manual is a combined effort of all the faculty members of the Department of
Agricultural Extension, for which I am thankful for my teammates.
On behalf of authors and as a Head, Department of Agricultural Extension, I
acknowledge with thanks to Dr. N.P. Singh, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, BUAT, Banda
and Dr. G.S. Panwar, Dean, College of Agriculture, BUAT, Banda for encouraging us to
bring out this e-reading manual.
With best wishes,
