In the dynamic field of agriculture, horticulture, and allied sciences, effective communication skills are indispensable for personal and professional success. Recognizing the critical role of communication in fostering holistic development among students pursuing B.Sc.

‘Communication Skills for Personality Development’ is tailored to meet the unique syllabus requirements of ICAR for B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, and allied courses. It is designed to equip students with the essential communication tools and techniques necessary to excel in their academic pursuits and beyond. The book adopts a student-centric approach, incorporating practical exercises, case studies, and real-life examples relevant to agricultural contexts. By integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on applications, students are encouraged to actively engage with the material, fostering a deeper understanding of communication principles and their practical implications.
The unique feature of this book is that it has been written in very simple English, lucidly and precisely considering the intellect of undergraduate students of agriculture and allied degree programmes, under precise headings and subheadings along with examples so that students can grasp the subject easily.
