Besides agricultural education and research activities the University has successfully executed extension education programs for the transfer of technology towards ‘konkan’ farmers. These programs comprises of farmer training, farmer meets, agricultural exhibitions, training programs for extension workers etc.. Additionally farm tours, method & result demonstrations, group discussions, film shows, agricultural campaigns etc are the facets of the extension education. Mango and Cashew nut farmers are provided training for protection of mango and cashew nut plants at flowering stage. The fishermen are given training for fish farming.

The new emerging areas like effect of pollutants on agricultural production, bio-diversity conservation, bio-technology, toxicology work in animal and fisheries, seed production of fresh water prawns, pharmacology of indigenous drugs in animal treatment, medicinal plants, evaluation of cropping system and mixed farming research, etc. will be addressed in coming years.

Establishment of Human Resources Planning Cell and Intellectual Property Rights Cell are also necessary. Similarly, creation of a Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Cell in the University to bring about better coordination amongst the various activities of the University and to have close liaison with the public and private sector is also needed.
