The Rural Extension Program started in 1973 in the School of Family Sciences, and in 1978, was assigned as a University Requirement (UR) course for all schools of the university. The Programs aims to contribute to achieving the goal of preparing the students to serve as agents of social change. It provides firsthand experience and training opportunity for the students in matters related to their own disciplines, and in variety of activities related to community mobilization and community service work. The students and their instructors carry out field trips to villages in different areas of Sudan to conduct extension work. These field trips are organized in cooperation with government agencies and non-governmental organizations, which are active in the areas to be visited, and themes for the activities to be undertaken are chosen in collaboration with the help of these agencies.
