Reorienting and refining curriculum of the extension education is very important in this period of highly vibrant and fast changing society particularly in farming sector. Participatory Curriculum Development (PCD) in Agricultural extension education is an evolving approach to enrich the quality of education in the farm universities. The main steps of the PCD approach adopted here have high practical utility in refining formal course contents for the Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses in Agricultural Extension. A great deal of judgment is essential while determining on how much participation is required from which stakeholders at what levels. However, while developing this toolkit we have taken the insights through Focus Group Discussions and Field level Workshops with farmers, field extension workers, teachers in extension education, both UG PG students perusing graduation in agriculture and para extension workers by considering stakeholders as a pivotal factor for the success of extension education.
