It is clear, the conventional agricultural education system is now not fulfilling the requirements of agricultural development. Education has become a focus area for policy makers so that it could bring on a fast track of skill development. The agriculture curricula should be flexible, cross-disciplinary, demand driven and yet must provide skills through hand on training and promote entrepreneurship. The course curricula must be learning-centric rather than exam centric with emphasis on self study, group studies and assignments. The SAUs and private sector must have a strong linkage between education, research and extension. Promotion of offcampus, distance and education through open learning with the help of ICTs. Formal agricultural education is one component of agricultural knowledge systems. This paper emphasised that present agricultural education systems are need of improvements in sense of its quality. Higher education faces the challenges in overcoming the stagnation in agricultural production, poor allocated resources and outdate policies, underutilized sources of knowledge and the need for globalization of educational content.Keywords
Quality Education, Quality Production.

An attempt has been made in this paper to show the statistical reasoning for the selection of variables in social reseach. Factor analysis which is one of the multivariate statistical methods has been used to select the variables in the study of adoption of farm technology. Seven predictor variables selected for the present study were found clustered in two factors which have been named tentatively as Elite and Progressiveness. These two factors can supply all the relevant information to explain the adoption phenomena- "Winter School on Communication Support for Sustainable Development"

Mobile telephony has hasty growth as compared to fixed line telephony and the recent introduction of mobile-based agriculture information services are prospective to provide solutions to the existing information asymmetry in agriculture sector.A study was conducted inMadhubani district of Bihar to find out action taken on agriculture information received by mobile using farmers. The study sample comprised of 100 farmers selected randomly from Lakhnaur Block of Madhubani district in Bihar. This paper through focus in-depth interviews with farmers, has tried to find out action taken on received agricultural information by mobile phone like coordinating information, market information, financial information and agriculture consultation information. The study findings indicate that majority of respondents (29%) received financial information. Action taken on received agriculture information results show that majority of respondents (36%) had contacted for seeds planting and livestock coordinate meeting, hired transport for agriculture products to market (38%), gained loan from local businessmen (49%) and contacted local farmers for advice on how to deal affected crops (40%). The primary data in this study were attempting to undertake a micro level analysis of collected data from the farmer with the help of structured schedule through personal interview methods.Keywords
