The study is conducted at two randomly selected development blocks of Nagaon district, Assam viz. Rupahi and Kaliabor Block during 2019-2021 to find out the constraints faced by the farmers in adoption of scientific fish farming. A total of 50 farmers from each of the selected blocks were finally selected through simple random sampling. A structured questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was used to collect responses about scientific fish farming problems and related information specifically based on preliminary survey as well as focus group discussions and Constraint Index (CI) was calculated. Lack of quality fish seed of required size and number at the time of stock (CI 1.66) in both Kaliabor and Rupahi blocks were the most common constraint and poaching of fish (CI 0.05) was the least common constraint. It was also observed that most of the adopters in the studied area were within the age group of 18 to 30 years which calls for better entrepreneurship and employment generation.

Changing times demand an in-depth analysis of the unexplored opportunities which social media offers. As extension agents are the front line of the extension and advisory services a study focused on analyzing their perception towards effective social media utilization behaviour and factors affecting their perception was carried on in the IT revolutionized Andhra Pradesh state during 2021. The survey method was used to collect data from 160 extension agents selected through a proportionate random sampling method from three districts namely Chittoor, Srikakulam, and Guntur of Andhra Pradesh. It was found that 51.88% of the extension agents had a neutral perception. It was found that scientific orientation, job perception, technology management orientation, innovative proneness, information management orientation, and orientation towards the extension service profession of the extension agents had a significant and positive correlation with the perception. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that eight variables namely technology management orientation, orientation towards extension service profession, innovative proneness, scientific orientation, perceived workload, education, gender, and work experience, were a good fit with an R-square of 55.1 per cent.

“…Affordable smart phones, improved connectivity in villages, cheaper data plans and increasing awareness about ICT might be the reasons for these results. The findings were also supported by Jat et al (2021), Nirmalkar et al (2022) and Singh et al (2021) who revealed that majority of farmers (59.70%) were in medium group of ICT use. Farmers used ICT's for getting agriculture information along with connecting with Govt.…”

The ex-post facto research design has been used for the study and samples were selected by using both purposive and random sampling techniques. The data was collected from 120 respondents through a structured interview schedule. The study revealed that 47.50% of the farmers were in the middle age group, 80.00% of them had high school and above education levels. 84.16% of the farmers used mobile phones and social media platforms for getting agriculture related information. 61.67% of the farmers used social networking sites like You tube, Twitter whereas 78.33% of the farmers used messaging platforms like Whatsapp, Telegram and Snapchat several times in a day. You tube was the preferred media out of all the social networking sites (67.50%), whatsapp for messaging (44.17%), You tube for media sharing (35.00%) and more than 90.00% of the farmers used Twitter for microblogging and none used blogs.
