The book Rural Sociology and Educational Psychology is meticulously
crafted to align with the Sixth Dean’s Committee Syllabus, catering
to the academic needs of students and professionals in the field
of agricultural extension and rural development. It provides a
comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between
rural sociology, educational psychology, and agricultural practices,
offering insights that are both theoretical and practical.
The contents of this book are structured to cover essential topics
such as the characteristics of Indian rural society, social groups, social
stratification, culture, and the role of social institutions in agricultural
extension. It delves into the dynamics of social control, social change,
and the significance of leadership in rural development. Additionally,
the book explores the psychological dimensions of intelligence,
personality, and the teaching-learning process, emphasizing their
relevance in agricultural extension education.
Each chapter is designed to provide clarity on fundamental
concepts while highlighting their practical applications in rural
contexts. The inclusion of topics like the training of leaders, social
values, and attitudes ensures a holistic approach to understanding
and addressing the challenges faced by rural communities.
This book is not just a compilation of academic knowledge but
a tool to inspire change and innovation in agricultural practices. It
aims to equip readers with the skills and understanding necessary to
contribute effectively to rural development and agricultural extension
programs.
We hope this book serves as a valuable resource for students,
educators, and practitioners, fostering a deeper appreciation of rural
sociology and educational psychology in the context of agriculture.
