Abstract:
The farmer’s concern has shifted from high production to high returns, and hence issues like quality, timeliness and post-harvest technology and storage are gaining prominence in the farmer queries. Given the demand for agricultural growth, evolutionary changes in technology transfer have been made to effectively reach the farming community. Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the important counterparts that have made the expansion of agriculture more realistic and interesting. A Study on perceived benefits by the farmers in utilization of ICT tools in Kota district of Rajasthan was conducted on the year 2021-2022. A multistage sampling technique was used for the study. A total of 399 sample size was taken. The result of the study showed that “ICT provide direct access to information” was emerged as most important benefit perceived by the respondent farmers.
