Whether it is business or personal life or official life, the role of communication is pivotal and important. Nobody can feel liberty without effective communication. It is, however, true that the communication skill is inbuilt in very human being. But the problem is environment, personal, social, cultural and host of many impersonal factors. The skill of communication is rarely an inherited gift. The majority of us, not blesses with instinctive flair, can nevertheless develop the ability. It is not easy and its needs hard work. It depends partly on acquiring an understanding of technique. It depends also on practical development of competence and confidence, either through on the job coaching by sensitive management or more often off- the job in some sort of seminars, workshops, etc. in which it can rapidly build compressed experience. The glory and greatness of Indian womanhood is reflected in the unsurg, unknown and unhonoured tales of her in our national heritage. She is the manager of the family who has to shoulder a number of responsibilities and be the best communicator. Home science personnel and women extension workers having an extra and different place in agriculture due to their immense help in women emancipation and empowerment are expected to be bestowed with efficient communication skills. Thus bringing out this edited book entitled “Communication Skills for Extension Workers†is a timely venture. The present compilation of lectures delivered by expert speakers of ICAR sponsored winter school are reflecting the efforts to achieve the target of exposing the participants to latest techniques and advanced in communication skills with special relevance to Home scientists.
