Present study was undertaken on availability and accessibility of different ICTs hardware. A total of 200 samples were taken for the present study, i.e., 100 male respondents and 100 female respondents. The respondents were selected from three villages through random sampling method. The results revealed that 84 per cent of the male respondents have mobile phones of their own whereas, 81 per cent of the female respondents have mobile phones of their own. It clearly revealed that 69 percent of the male respondents have favorable attitudes towards ICT whereas 72 percent of the female respondents have favorable attitude towards ICT. So, majority of the respondents had favorable attitude towards ICT and hence, they need to be encouraged a little more by the ICT expertise by providing them a short duration training or awareness programme on the use and importance of ICTs. This will help them to learn the valuable use of ICTs in different ways in agriculture and allied activities. It can be said that female respondents have attained a more favorable attitude towards ICT rather than male respondents. It was found that the correlation of male respondents between age and the attitude towards ICT is negligible because the attitude towards ICT does not depend on age. Similarly, the correlation of female respondents between age and the attitude towards ICT is negligible because the attitude towards ICT does not depend on age. So, their effect towards ICT is negligible. It was found that the attitude of male respondents and female respondents towards ICT does not depend on age because the perceived effects towards ICT are independent of age. The finding shows that by providing training or awareness programmes on different aspects of ICT hardware will be more useful and benefitted to their day to day life.
