Role of Extension Education Institute (EEI) in Indian Agriculture

Most of the extension organizations in India rely on the policy of promotion for middle and top level positions. The advantage is that, while experience counts and promotes loyalty, it falls back on competency, as lateral performances take a back seat. This is a unique but persistent hindrance, to quality performances and to combat this, many institutes are depending highly on training of employees, as it has a direct impact on development of human resources in any organization. For effective management, training could be used as an effective tool of planning and control. It develops skills among the employees and prepares them for handling present and future jobs. It helps in increasing the productivity and quality which are the cherished goals of any modern organization. Training not only improves the morale of employees but also enhances their job security and satisfaction. The more satisfied the employee is, the greater is the morale, the more he/she will contribute to organizational success. A well trained employee will show both quantitative and qualitative performances. EEI as a guiding force shapes the personal and professional outlook of the extension officers of various line departments of client states and never stops going that extra mile ahead in providing greater value to the training in terms of quality, quantity and promoting client satisfaction by following a highly application oriented and participative style of training. Only after understanding the quality and skilled work force requirement of the sector, the institute designs the course content. The institutes created a record of hundred per cent client coverage and satisfaction with respect to quality and quantity.
