| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in four districts namely, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Rewari and Jhajjar and from each district, two blocks were selected randomly. Thus, total numbers of eight blocks were selected for the study. From each block, two villages were selected randomly. Thus, total numbers of 16 villages were selected for the study. From each village, 15 respondents were selected randomly. Thus, total 240 respondents were selected and personally interviewed through well-structured schedule on their farm or home. The data were divided into various parts i.e. personal profile of farmers, knowledge, perception, utilization pattern, impact and constrains. Results of the personal profile of the respondents reported that majority of the farmers were of young age group, educated up to pre-university/diploma, belonged to OBC category and had land holding up to 5 acres. Majority of the respondents used the WhatsApp app followed by E-mausamhau and IFFCO Kisan mobile app. Overall knowledge level of respondents was high and overall perception level of respondents was of medium level. Impact of mobile apps on agricultural production was medium meant that mobile apps had huge potential in agricultural sector. The utilization pattern of mobile apps by respondents was found of medium level through utility index. Lack of training on specific aspect was found the very serious constraints in infrastructure constraints followed by insufficient availability of ICT services in rural area, recommended practices are very expensive and lack of satisfactory solution of individual problem were serious constraints in the technical, economic and miscellaneous categories. | en_US |
