AbstractUsing ICTs to increase agricultural growth through better information and communication channels has become a key component of agriculture extension. The skills and expertise required for Indian farmers to effectively use ICT technologies to enhance their farming methods are lacking, not withstanding the remarkable progress made in this area. Considering this, even if our nation’s ICT industry is growing every day, its impact on the agricultural community is still in danger, and there is still a lot of room to grow in terms of ICT use in agriculture. The study was conducted during the year 2019 to assess the attitude of farmers towards information and communication technology tools in two blocks i.e., Balianta and Balipatna of Khurda district of Odisha. Pre-structured interview schedule was used for data collection from the farmers and appropriate statistical tools were used to analyze the collected data. Proportionate random sampling was used in the selection of one hundred and twenty (120) farmers as the sample of the study.
