Author(s): Dr. N Anandaraja and Dr. KC Sivabalan
Abstract: The Indian public agricultural extension system is one of the largest knowledge and information dissemination institutions in the world. Several efforts have been made in the system over the past to transfer the farm technologies from lab to land. Still there exists the yield gap between research stations and farmers’ field. The information gap remains high which resulted in the declining farm productivity and stagnating farm incomes. The present study was conducted in Pudukkottai district to identify the farmers’ constraints in accessing technologies. PRA technique was carried to document the constraints among the respondents. More than 84 per cent of the farmers reported that there was lacking in conduction of demonstrations and exposure visits by the extension officials in their village. A vast majority (81.81%) felt that there is no coordination among the developmental department officials.
