Rajasthan state has a vast amount of water resources, but fish production from these water resources is said to be half of its potential. Total inland water resources area including reservoirs, ponds and tanks is 4.23 lakh ha. Fish production was reported to be 1.16 lakh tons in 2019-20. A number of fisheries development programmes are in progress in the state. Extension service providers from Government, Non Government and Private organisations are involved in the development of fisheries. However, not many studies have been reported about the constraints faced by these pluaralistic extension service providers, which was the objective of this study. Through the review of literature and focus group discussion with key informants a list of 53 constraints was prepared and classified under nine heads. A five point scale was used to measure the severity of constraints and its reliability was tested by test re-test method and Cronbach’s alpha. Information was collected form forty extension service providers and using weights for each constraint, maximum score that could be achieved was 200. The study revealed that administrative constraints ranked first with an average score of 168.6 followed by social constraints (129.25), management related constraints (123.42), and extension and training constraints (120.62). Among administrative constraints burden of additional duties/charges on the officials was highest. In social constraints effect on children’s education due to postings in remote places/frequent shifting due to transfers ranked first. Highest management related constraint was more span of control and extension and training constraints were less availability of transport facilities for field visits. To address these constraints, interventions are needed to deal with all of its dimensions so that an effective fisheries extension service can be developed.
