Objectives: To study the constraints experienced by agricultural scientists and extension personnel in utilising
and accessing information related to rice from Rice Knowledge Management Portal (RKMP).
Methods/Statistical analysis: The research was conducted in purposively selected districts and simple random
sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Ex-post facto research design was used; Different
categories of constraints were collected through literature review, expert opinion. Data was collected using semi
structured interview schedule. A three point continuum of severity using LIKERT type scale was used for getting
responses. Friedman’s test was used to finding most important constraint within each group.
Findings: Agricultural scientists and extension personnel faced technological, social, economical and psychologic
al constraints more severely. In case of technological constraints, lack of updated information, technical and
infrastructure problems while using ICTs and poor maintenance of ICT tools were major constraints that
agricultural scientists and extension personnel have faced. In case of social constraints, restriction to promote
organisational information and less networking among extension personnel were found most limiting factors for
using portal’s information. In case of psychological factors benefits given to particular group of people was
found most severe and techno-phobia was found least affecting to respondents for utilising information. In case
of economical constraints, high cost of internet and cost of computer/smart phones were limiting the use of
information provided by RKMP.
Application/Improvements: The finding will help in restructuring and incorporating necessary modification for
reaching the unreached for effective dissemination of information and making portal more effective for users to
ensure timely and relevant information.
