“…This is because all the extension agents possess the basic pre-requisite professional qualification to work as extension agents and this does not make any difference in class, age, educational level and work experience as regards their decision to implement ICT tools in extension work.

Marital status is significant at 1% with positive coefficient meaning that marital status has a significant contribution to ICT adoption by extension agents, this is because married people were expected to be rational thinkers and responsible in decision making.…”

D issemination of knowledge and Technology are strategic goals for the successful agricultural extension (Zulqarmain et al., 2020; Aker, 2010). Different forms of information communication technologies (ICT) are used to disseminate agricultural information to farmers. Umar et al. (2015) stressed the role of technology in improving productivity in agriculture. The technology was seen as an important tool for agricultural production. Agricultural extension operations main focus is to provide adequate and valuable knowledge to reassure end-users to follow what will ultimately lead to the growth of agricultural production (

“…The probable reason might be that the groundnut growers with good infrastructure facilities are available with modern ICTs and they had better environment and opportunities for efficient utilization of ICTs. This finding was similar to the findings of Yekkini and Akinbile (2014).…”

India is an agro based developing country with about 68.84 per cent population living in rural area. Agricultural extension is a service or system which assists farmers through educational procedures in improving farming methods and techniques, increasing production efficiency and income. With this consideration, the problem entitled "Perception of Groundnut Growers towards Modern Communication Media in Saurashtra Region" was undertaken. The study was conducted in Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Four districts were selected purposively out of eleven districts and a total of 160 respondents were selected randomly. The characteristics of the respondents' viz. education, annual income, extension participation, training received, mass-media exposure, infrastructure facilities had positive and significant relationship with the perception of the respondents about ICT technology. The characteristics of the respondents like social participation, innovativeness and risk orientation were positively and highly significantly related with the perception of the respondents about ICT technology. The age of the respondents was negative and significantly related with the perception of the respondents about ICT technology. There was non-significant relationship with the perception of the respondents about ICT technology with their size of land holding.

It is believed that farmers who are active will be sensitive to their environment in terms of seeking information about weather and climatic changes.…”
