The Diploma in Agricultural Extension is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to promote agricultural development and improve the livelihoods of farmers through extension services. The program focuses on the communication, training, and support required to disseminate agricultural knowledge and best practices to farmers and rural communities.

Key topics include agricultural development strategies, communication techniques, rural sociology, farm management, extension methodologies, and the role of extension workers in promoting sustainable farming practices. Students also learn about crop and livestock production, community mobilization, and how to address challenges such as food security, climate change, and market access in rural areas.

Graduates of this diploma are prepared for careers as agricultural extension officers, rural development specialists, or agricultural advisors, working in government agencies, NGOs, extension services, and farming organizations. They help farmers adopt new technologies, improve productivity, and implement sustainable agricultural practices.

This diploma serves as a foundation for those looking to pursue further studies in agricultural science, rural development, or agricultural education, with opportunities to specialize in areas such as sustainable agriculture, rural policy, or agricultural economics.
