Abstract

An attempt was made to explore the veterinary students’ attitude towards rural oriented careers and their extent of participation in extracurricular and co-curricular activities in AP. Data was gathered from 150 undergraduate veterinary students through random sampling from three veterinary colleges (50 from each) under Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University. The pretested questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection, the data was tabulated and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 20. Expost- facto research design was followed in the study. Equal distribution of boys and girls from all the years were selected and findings indicated that majority of the students had expressed more favourable (positive) attitude towards rural oriented careers and showed less inclination to participate in extracurricular and cocurricular activities.
