Communication intervention is phenomenal for agricultural development. Without an effective communication system agriculture itself would be in jeopardy. Well thought out effective, perspective based and meaningful communication intervention is a must for development of sustainable agriculture. Since agricultural development is inevitably linked with rural development, communication intervention in the former sector would articulate into the latter.

Rural character of India and agriculture at the heart of rural India represent soul of India. The book presented to the academic world of agricultural communication attempts to explore many opportunities for sustainable agriculture and rural development applying the many facets of communication intervention.

This book could be regarded as one of the landmark publications in communication intervention for sustainable agriculture and rural development. (jacket).
