DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION EDUCATION & COMMUNICATION INTRODUCTION Agricultural extension education is the mother of all agricultural sciences and without extension education, adoption and diffusion of new agricultural technologies, Agriculture Development is impossible. Agricultural extension is one of the driving forces that are responsible for growth of agricultural productivity by transferring latest scientific based improved agricultural technologies to the farmers and ultimately strengthen the national economy. However, for agricultural development of a country, the presence of strong linkages amongst the three main institutions, human resource development through university education, technology development through research, and technology transfer through extension are unavoidable. The technology transfer, however, does not take place in a vacuum but it is done through a well organized extension system. The latter is a continuous process of passing on useful and required information to the farmers and then assisting them to utilize effectively new knowledge and skills for increasing their production and income. Keeping in view the importance of agriculture extension and communication for the technology transfer to the farmers, a full fledged department of Agricultural Extension Education and Communication was established in 1990 which offers graduate and post graduate courses leading to B.Sc.(H),M.Sc.(H),andPh.D.degrees. In addition to the primary aim of providing higher education in this specialized field, the Agricultural Extension Education and Communication is helping, collaborating and providing services to teaching, research and outreach staff in designing and developing instructional material to improve their efforts in teaching, continuing education, outreach and research dissemination. Various services are provided in slide preparation, video production, and support services in print media, graphics and training in use of audio visual equipment. 1 Contacts: Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication Office Phone: + 92 91 9216891 Fax: + 92 91 9216520 Mobile: + 92 333 9125263 Email: drzafar@aup.edu.pk, zafaruallah66@yahoo.com Mailing Address: Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication, Agricultural University Peshawar, 25130, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. 2 CRITERION-1 PROGRAM MISSION, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES 3 Criterion-1 Program Mission, Objectives and Outcomes Institutional Mission Provision of the best possible quality higher education with prime focus on the development of well-trained and skilled human resource in various disciplines through high class teaching and research.

Standard 7-1: The Institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends in learning such as e-learning. a) Departmental library and internet facility Presently, there is no departmental library however; copies of internship reports, reviews, theses and dissertations of its qualified students are available in the department. The students of the department use main Library of the University. The Departmental library needs to be established with upgraded equipments, internet facility, copies of internship reports, reviews, theses and dissertations of its qualified students. Internet facility is available in offices of the faculty. A large number of international research journals are also available in Digital Library provided by Higher Education Commission and research articles of interest can also be down loaded. However, these facilities are insufficient to cater the requirements of the students and need improvement. b) Main library Faculty members and students of Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication are allowed to use the main library during and after normal working hours. The main library provides the following services; i. Course books and reference material ii. Internet and e-learning resources iii. Digital library with access to journals and e-books 50 c) Offices The Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication has not enough space to accommodate its faculty. Therefore, separate offices needed to be arranged for each faculty member as well as PhD students. d) Class rooms The Department uses its laboratories for classroom purpose. There is an urgent need of three classrooms to cater the needs of its students. Further, it also needs one conference room for organizing seminars and staff meeting room for routine departmental meetings. Standard 7-2: The library must possess on up-to-date technical collection relevant to the program and must be adequately staffed with professional personnel. The Main University Library has a lot of books and scientific journals covering a wide range of disciplines in agriculture but insufficient collection of literature on Agricultural Extension. The Main University Library has professional staff and is also computerized. Though the library has the latest literature on Agricultural Extension, yet this literature covers only some aspects of the subject. Standard 7-3: Class rooms must be adequately equipped and offices must be adequate to enable faculty to carry out their responsibility. Classrooms Presently, the Department uses its offices and communication laboratory for teaching purpose. Although, two class rooms are available but insufficient to 51 accommodate students of all classes. These classrooms are quipped with whiteboards, blackboards, overhead projectors and one multimedia yet two more classrooms are urgently needed for students. Further, it also needs one conference room for organizing seminars. Faculty Offices Most of the faculty has adequate office facilities. However, two more offices are required to accommodate new faculty. 52 CRITERION-8 INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT 53 Criterion-8 Institutional Support The institution’s support and the financial resources for the program is sufficient to provide an environment in which the program can achieve its objectives and retain its strength. Standard 8-1: There must be sufficient support and financial resources to attract and retain high quality faculty and provide the means for them to maintain competence as teacher and scholars. The Department of Agricultural Extension and communication has insufficient laboratory and field research facilities, foreign qualified faculty.

Despite the limitation, the senior faculty members are capable of getting funds through research proposals from various organizations. For the last few years HEC has been very generous to strengthen our laboratories and libraries. The major financial source of the Department is the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar which relies on HEC for funding. Standard 8-2: There must be an adequate number of high quality graduate students, research assistants and Ph.D. Students The following table shows the number of students enrolled in M.Sc (Hons) program of the Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication.
