The findings of the study pointed out that most of the respondents belonged to low socioeconomic status categories who obtained technical information from TOT programme. They were encountering with various impediments in adoption of improved aquacultural technologies under the schemes of central/state government mainly implemented by Fish Farmers Development Agencies (FFDAs) in Tripura. The major impediments were poverty, high cost of inputs involved in fish culture and lack of need based training. Similarly the officials involved in TOT under the schemes were also facing the varieties of problems like lack of communication and transportation facilities, lack of infrastructural facilities and late communication of messages.
