\includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth]{8png}
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

To distinguish between work-plan documents:
- "Plan" \(\rightarrow\) Course of action (I).
- "Plan of work" \(\rightarrow\) Outline of activities (IV).
- "Calendar of work" \(\rightarrow\) Time/Chronological sequence of activities (III).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question deals with agricultural extension program planning.
Program planning involves identifying local needs, defining problems, setting objectives, and laying out systematic steps (plans, work schedules, calendars) to solve these problems.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Let us define each concept from List-I using standard extension program planning terminology:
- (A) Problem:
In program planning, a problem is defined as a gap or deviation between "what is" (current situation) and "what ought to be" (desired situation).
It represents an undesirable condition or deficit that requires intervention and change.
Therefore, (A) matches with (II) A condition requiring change.
- (B) Plan:
A plan is a systematic, structured design or blueprint prepared in advance to guide future actions toward achieving specific objectives.
It serves as a predetermined path of action.
Therefore, (B) matches with (I) Pre-determined course of action.
- (C) Plan of work:
A plan of work is an outline of activities designed to execute a program.
It specifies what needs to be done, who will do it, how it will be done, and what resources are required, serving as an operational guide.
Therefore, (C) matches with (IV) An outline of activities.
- (D) Calendar of work:
A calendar of work is a plan of work structured chronologically.
It maps out different activities across specific dates, weeks, or months to ensure timely execution.
Therefore, (D) matches with (III) Activities in time sequence.
Combining these matches, we get: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III).

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence corresponds to Option (A).
