The nature of job of the Extensionists requires them to be in contact with the farmers and other
stakeholders involved in the agriculture. Emotional Intelligence plays an important role in providing
effective and efficient extension services. Therefore, the present study was conducted to understand

replacement method. 20 KVK from each zone was selected randomly and 3 Extensionists from each
KVK were selected by using simple random sampling technique. The total sample size was 240. The
study revealed that majority of the extensionists were having average level of emotional intelligence.
