Abstract:
The present study was conducted to study the constraints and suggestions perceived by the KVK scientists for effective utilization of ICT in KVK activities in NE region of India. The study was conducted with the randomly selected 110 nos. of KVK scientists of the region. The study revealed that poor ICT based infrastructure facilities at KVK (95.45%), time management problems in learning to use ICT (96.36%), slow functioning of internet/server break down (100%), lack of fund for ICT (80.91%), no network coverage for mobile (98.18%), lack of learner motivation towards using ICT (82.73%) were the major constraints perceived by the respondents. All these constraints may be overcome by implementing suggestions received from KVK scientists, viz., provision of alternate power source for electricity, provision of ICT facilities at individual level, provision of training regarding various use of ICT in agriculture and at village level information KIOSK should be developed.
