    Notes:
    9 pages., From the file, "India - G.B. Pant University," in the international file of the Agricultural Communications Program, University of Illinois., Discussion emphasized that the nature of agricultural communication needs a flexible approach rather than the rigid procedures laid down for the program. Committee members emphasized need to focus on features of India culture and society, deliberately departing from "the Western-oriented communication technologies and a systematic attempt to use what is relevant in these to develop packages based on our own understanding of socio-cultural pattern of society." They offered a dozen other recommendations about approaches to this graduate program.
