Abstract

The study focuses on profile of scientists, constraints faced by them and suggestions given by them for improvement of Agricultural Technology Information Centre (A TIC). The findings of the study reveals that majority of the scientists (45.46%) working at ATIC of Pantnagar were of middle age group, having Ph. D, level of education (85.46%) and medium level of job experience (54.54%). They faced constraints like heavy workload, non-availability of scientists at the centre all the time and they have suggested facilities needed for making direct contact with the scientists of concerned areas and increase the level of interaction among farmers and scientists.
