Data were collected through a primary survey of 72 purposively </em><em>selected rice farmers. Three major extension institutions were identified. Satisfaction of farmers </em><em>from extension was measured using principal component analysis and technical efficiency through </em><em>Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Satisfaction scores were poor. However, extension services were found </em><em>to be significantly contributing to technical efficiency of rice production. Efficiency of extension </em><em>services could be improved through reforms in the current institutional structure.</em></p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Extension Education}, author={Anikha S Kumar and Shaijumon C S}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={6707–6717} }
