Factors Associated With Field Level Extension Workers' Perception of Their Role Performance in the Training and Visit System in Nepal

Effective role performance of field level extension workers is an important issue for the efficient implementation of agricultural extension systems. In Nepal, more than half of the cultivated land is not covered by proper extension services (MOA, 1989). The training and visit (T&V) system of ag...

In Nepal, more than half of the cultivated land is not covered by proper extension services (MOA, 1989). The training and visit (T&V) system of agricultural extension was introduced with the objective of reforming the agricultural extension services particularly in the terai region of the country.

The general objective of this study was to determine the factors relating to the perception of role performance of field level extension workers. This study was conducted in three terai districts of Dhanusha, sarlahi and Nawalparasi which were under the T&V extension system. These districts were randomly selected from eight districts under the first phase of Agricultural Extension and Research Project of the T&V system.
