department profile

 

 

Home Science Extension Education is an educational process intending to transfer scientific knowledge to the community to foster better family living. It is a two way process. On one hand, information from education and research institutions is disseminated to the families; on the other, the problems and suggestions are fed back to the information/  technology generation system for mid-course corrections.
