Abstract

Because of the dominance and concentration of small and resource poor farmers, public institutions like Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Institutes and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs) will continue to play a vital role in supply of technological information, products and inputs for increasing the overall productivity in agriculture. Through ATICs it was intended to deliver single window services to farmers, entrepreneurs and other visitors bout agriculture. The present study was conducted to identify the profile of visitors and the types of information mostly sought by them.
