Question

Match List-I with List-II
List-I (Communication method):
(A) Result demonstration
(B) Method demonstration
(C) Campaign
(D) Field Day
List-II (Objective):
(I) To create mass awareness about an important problem or felt need of community and encourage them to solve it.
(II) To convince the participants about the applicability of the practice in their own situation.
(III) To teach skill and stimulate people to action.
(IV) To show the advantages and applicability of newly recommended practice in farmer's own situation.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

- "Method" demonstration is always linked to teaching a physical "skill" (B matches III).
- "Campaign" is always associated with creating widespread "mass awareness" (C matches I).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Extension methods such as demonstrations, campaigns, and field days are designed to achieve specific educational outcomes on farms.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each communication method with its operational objective:
- (A) Result demonstration: This method compares a new practice with an old one over a season to (IV) show the advantages and applicability of the newly recommended practice in the farmer's own situation.
- (B) Method demonstration: This is a hands-on instructional session designed to (III) teach a specific skill and stimulate people to action (such as how to treat seed or operate a machine).
- (C) Campaign: This is an intensive mass communication effort designed to (I) create mass awareness about an important problem or felt need of the community and encourage them to solve it (such as vaccination campaigns).
- (D) Field Day: This involves bringing a group of farmers to a successful demonstration plot to (II) convince the participants about the applicability of the practice in their own situation through peer observation.
This gives the matched sequence:
\[ \text{(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)} \]

Step 2: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence corresponds to Option (A).
