Abstract :
The present study was undertaken to examine the barriers encountered by the farmers in minimization of the technological gap and to find the suitable remedial solutions to overcome the widened technological gap in Katni district of Madhya Pradesh during 2013-14. Information and communication technology (ICT) user farmers confronted the barriers in minimizing the technological gap in agriculture. On the other hand the farmers also suggested that, equipping the farmers with the necessary knowledge inputs†and providing, “subsidized supply of inputs should be on priority basis†would be the best measures to minimize the technological gap.
