Indian agriculture had been on traditional lines till the first waves of Green Revolution in late 60s. Quick dissemination of technological information from the Agricultural Research System to the farmers in the field and reporting of farmers ’feedback to the research system is one of the critical inputs in transfer of agricultural technology. The success of Green Revolution was mainly achieved due to concerted homogeneous extension approach for the assured irrigated area. Now as we move to address the needs of rain fed eco-systems, the extension strategy becomes more complex. Farmers ’needs are much more diversified and the knowledge required to address them. Today it is possible to find a solution to this situation by using the potential of communication technologies and scientific knowledge among the farmers to meet their needs. Keeping then in view a study was undertaken with following objectives to study the socio-economic and personal profile of farmers and to study the levels of scientific temperament of the farmers.
The study was conducted in Saran district of Bihar. 200 farmers were selected randomly from the selected 20 villages. Maximum number of the respondents, i.e. 58.0 per cent had medium scientific temperament, followed by low scientific temperament i.e. 25.0 per cent and high level of scientific temperament i.e. 17.0 per cent.
