Answer 1

Extension work involves community-based efforts aimed at improving social, economic, and environmental conditions.

Key Points

The type of leader required in extension work is a local functional leader.
These leaders are respected individuals within the community who have the ability to influence and guide people in areas that directly impact the community’s well-being.
They may not necessarily hold formal titles but possess local knowledge and trust, which makes them effective in communicating and promoting new ideas or practices.

Hint

Caste leaders typically have influence based on social groups, but their role may not always align with the goals of community development in extension work.
Lay leaders are general community members without formal leadership roles, but they may contribute to extension activities.
Religious leaders hold influence primarily in spiritual matters, and while they can play a role in community work, they may not be the most appropriate leaders for extension work unless their influence directly aligns with the objectives.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Local functional leader'.
