| dc.description.abstract | ATICs are established under the technology dissemination component of NATP. These are serving as a „single window system‟ with an objective to help the farmers and other stakeholders both to provide location specific solutions to their problems and to make available all the technological information alongwith technological inputs and products for testing and use by them. The study was conducted at ATIC of G.B.Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttaranchal with the objectives: 1.To study the profile of farmers who visited ATIC and scientists associated with ATIC. 2.To study the farmers‟ level of awareness about ATIC services. 3. To study the farmers‟ level of satisfaction and constraints faced by them in utilizing ATIC services. 4. To study the constraints faced by the scientists associated with ATIC. 5.To seek the suggestions of the scientists for the improvement of ATIC functioning. The data was collected from a sample of 120 respondents which included 65 farmers and 55 scientists associated with ATIC. Data was collected by structured and semi- structured Interview Schedule and analyzed after tabulation by using appropriate statistical techniques. Findings of the study reveal majority of farmers were of middle age, intermediate, large land holding and high level of farming experience and the scientists were of middle aged, doctorate degree holders, medium level of job experience, rural background and from Agriculture College. Major source of information about ATIC was farm literature for farmers and for gain of information. Most of the farmers have medium degree of awareness about ATIC services and high level of satisfaction with the services such as breeder seeds, dissemination of information through agricultural literature etc. Farmers as well as scientists faced constraints regarding the functioning of ATIC and scientists suggested for improvement of ATIC effectiveness. | en_US |
