It includes multitude of activities ranging from adult basic literacy to provide necessary life skill and techniques to solve one’s problem. The term carries with it a developmental urge, suggesting an initiative on the part of those agencies, which have an obligation to the society. It advocates a formative action by the university, with resources at its command in form of students, functionaries and its gamut of knowledge, for those who need such services in order to lead a better life. Extension is perceived as a mechanism for the university to reach out to community and work for the common good of the people.
