ICTs can act as bridge between the traditional and modern knowledge systems by integrating widely scattered and distributed references on Indian indigenous technical knowledge systems in a retrieval form. The benefits of information society must be extended to less privilege areas throughout the world. The Worlds Summit on Information Society (WSIS) attempts to make some international policies on this aspect.

The book entitled “ICTs: Digital Opportunities in Agricultural Extension” deals with pre-requisites for harnessing ICT potentials. This book also deals with fundamentals of ICT applications, search engine and web designing, digital mediation in agricultural sector, ICT applications in allied sectors and ICT and legal issues, thus the book helps in empowerment of extension fraternity through media education, dealing with the concepts related to empowerment, types of empowerment and empowerment through ICT application.

Most of the chapters of the book are outcomes of the lectures delivered at the winter school sponsored by ICAR. This book will fulfill the needs of ICARs restructured post-graduate (masters and doctoral) course curricula and syllabi of extension education at the national level. The book is divided into six parts dealing with twenty six issues revolving around ICT and Agricultural Extension, each dealing with separate aspects. All these parts have been presented in a logical sequence.
