Mobile phones significantly reduce </em><em>communication and information costs. Mobile phones also provide new opportunities for </em><em>farmers to obtain access to agricultural information, such as market prices, weather report, </em><em>and agricultural techniques in various formats. Hence, keeping this in mind, a study </em><em>was taken up to assess the perception of respondents on the usefulness of technologies </em><em>transferred through mobile service functioning in Bishnupur District of Manipur. A sample </em><em>of 120 registered farmers belonging to Intelligent Advisory Service for Farmers (IASF) </em><em>mobile service was selected by using proportionate random sampling technique. Data </em><em>were collected with the help of a well structured and pre tested interview schedule. The </em><em>data collected were scored, tabulated and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. </em><em>The findings on respondents’ perception on usefulness of mobile service showed that most </em><em>of the respondents expressed that they were satisfied with the language used by the IASF </em><em>mobile service in transferring the information.</em></p> ER -
