The present study was conducted during the year 2007–08, to assess the acceptability of information sources used in rain fed rice production by the tribal farmers of block Tokapal in Baster district of Chhattisgarh. One hundred twenty Rice growing farmers were selected on the basis of simple random sampling and observational data were collected by structured interview schedule.
