•The essential and major part of technology transfer is extension .It means technology transfer is broader in meaning than extension i.e. 

•Technology transfer is not equal to Extension

• Technology transfer includes the additional functions of input supplies and agri-Services

Technology Transfer= Agri.Extn + Input supplies and agri services= Ext. + Supplies & Services
