Not AvExtension primarily deals with human resource development (HRD) and the transfer of technology and
knowledge from research centres to farmers. Improving human resource development (HRD) within rural
community is essential for agriculture and community development. Extension workers are professionals
in the extension system responsible for developing individuals in the community. This study was carried
out to investigate the competency of fisheries extension officers and the extent of penetration of
Department of Fisheries initiatives in improving the awareness and knowledge of the fish farmers in the
selected districts of Assam. The data were collected from 180 farmers with the help of structured and pretested interview schedule involving 15 statements developed for this purpose. From the results, based on
the responses, it can be seen that the officials scored highly on technical knowledge skills (84 per cent)
and managerial skills (81 per cent). They also scored well on training skills (68 per cent), communication
skills (66 per cent) and social mobilisation skills (69 per cent). It was also found that majority of the fish
farmers (59.44 per cent) had medium level of knowledge in respect of scientific fish culture practices. ailable
