Abstract

The study was undertaken to develop and standardize a scale to measure the attitude of the farmers towards Information and Communication Technology Based Extension Services based on Likerts Summated Rating Method (1932). A total of 18 items finally comprised the scale out of the initially selected 60 statements. The reliability and validity of the scale indicates its precision and consistency of the results. This scale can be used to measure farmers’ attitude beyond the study area with suitable modifications.
